This truly exceptional example of a Tiffany & Co. retailed reference 6265 in 14k yellow gold and dating from 1978, will capture the attention and hearts of all Rolex collectors. With its superbly crisp case and hallmarks and wonderful patina, matching 14k gold riveted Oyster bracelet as well as its flawless champagne dial, this watch is a true gem. Of course the magical and pronounced signature of New York jewellers Tiffany & Co. on the dial lifts this watch into another dimension, highlighting the very famous relationship between Rolex and the legendary American jeweller. Rolex watches were only retailed by Tiffany & Co. in very small numbers, the Tiffany & Co. signature bestows an extra level of exclusivity and rarity along with the associated romance of the Tiffany & Co. name. This combination of details and its state of preservation underlines the incredible rarity and desirability of this watch.
Truly a watch for the most exacting of collectors, it is without doubt one of the most attractive and best preserved Tiffany & Co. signed reference 6265s to be offered at auction.
Reference 6265
Launched in the 1970s, the reference 6265 is the sister reference of the 6263. Inheriting attributes of reference 6240, the standard version chronograph bears the “Oyster” designation on the upper-half of its dial and is built with screw-down pushers, a screw back and screw-down crown. Manufactured over a period of approximately 17 years, gold examples of the reference were produced in small volume, estimated at approximately 10% of the overall production and were made in 14K as well as 18K gold. The 6265 chronograph was made with a slightly wider case, giving the wristwatch a more athletic feel than earlier references. Produced from 1971 right up to 1988, it represents the last of the manual-winding Daytona models.
