Price Upon Request

A magnificent exemplar of the yellow gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6265, this watch marks the grand finale of the manually wound Daytona lineage, the last of the pure, hand-crafted racing chronographs before the transition to automatic calibres. Produced between 1969 and 1987, the 6265 represents the culmination of Rolex’s mechanical chronograph development, distinguished by its screw-down pushers and robust Oyster case.
Cased in 18K yellow gold, this example belongs to the exceedingly small production, estimated at fewer than 2,000 pieces, crafted in precious metal. Its champagne dial, enhanced by contrasting black subsidiary registers, exudes warmth and sophistication, while proudly bearing the “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” inscription reserved exclusively for gold models of the period.
Bearing a 6.24 million serial, completing the remarkable originality of this watch its matching numbered hang tag and the green Rolex caseback sticker still intact.

Key features:
– Reference 6265 | 18K Yellow Gold Oyster Case | Valjoux 727 Manual Movement
– Champagne Dial with Black Registers
– Screw-Down Pushers | Engraved Tachymeter Bezel
– Caseback Sticker and Hang Tag

A rare survivor from the golden age of the Daytona, this 6265 captures the essence of Rolex’s legacy in chronograph design, a flawless balance of technical mastery, elegance, and enduring collectability.
