Amongst the most highly coveted timepieces, the Rolex Daytona has established itself as a true icon within the world of watch collecting. From its origination, the model has encountered a multitude of variations from dials to cases and movements, all illustrating the incessant quest for innovations of Rolex, while staying true to its heritage.
Part of the most appreciated wristwatches, chronographs such as the present reference are cherished by collectors due to their rarified nature.
Reference 6265
Introduced during the 1970s, the reference 6265 was manufactured until 1987 and is the sister reference of the 6263. With the main difference between both chronographs residing in the bezel, the 6265 was assembled with a stainless steel, 14k and 18k gold case as well as the mechanical Valjoux caliber 727 succeeding the caliber 722-1. Bearing the Oyster signature on its dial, the case featured more athletic proportions than previous references and benefited from enhanced waterproofness with screw-down chronograph pushers, a screw-down case back and a wider winding crown.
