Lot Essay
Very well preserved, the present Rolex 6265 astonishes through its beautiful champagne dial and contrasting engine-turned black subsidiary registers. Crafted with an 18k gold case retaining strong proportions, this wristwatch was clearly cherished throughout the years, featuring highly legible hallmarks to the back of its case.
A must have for collectors, the Rolex reference 6265 was launched around 1970 and is distinguished by its metal bezel with engraved tachymeter scale, screw down chronograph buttons and caliber 727 movement.
Manufactured over a period of approximately 17 years, gold examples of the reference were produced in scarce volume, estimated to approximately 10% of the overall production, and were made in 14k as well as 18k gold. Only visible on gold iterations of the reference, the dial of the timepiece is bestowed with the chronometer certification text, “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” at 12 o’clock as well as the “Cosmograph” writing at 6 o’clock.
A similar example is illustrated and described in: Ultimate Rolex Daytona, Pucci Papaleo, pp. 512- 515.
