With Rolex presentation box and Tiffany & Co. invoice.
The panorama of manually-wound Rolex Daytona Chronographs encompasses 7 different models, plus two bejeweled models made in extremely small numbers. Among the non-bejeweled timepieces, only three models truly qualify as Oyster case (indeed, while these three models bear the Oyster designation on the dial, the others do not). A true Oyster case is defined by the screw back, screw down crown and screw down chronograph pushers, thus ensuring increased water resistance. Reference 6265 is indeed one of these highly sought-after models. Together with its sister reference 6263 (the difference being the black-insert bezel rather than the metal one), reference 6265 is the final evolution of manually wound Daytona. It is defined, beyond its metal insert and screw down pushers, by the caliber 727 (evolved from caliber 722-1).
The present example is an exceedingly attractive specimen of this landmark reference. Not only it is offered in pristine condition, but it furthermore features the signature of prominent retailer Tiffany & Co. on the dial. An added layer of historical interest is given by the presence of the original Tiffany & Co. invoice, dated July 3rd 1986.
