Lot Essay

Reference 6265 is the final evolution of the manually wound Daytonas. Featuring the calibre 727, it is the only Daytona reference with the advanced, and nowadays extremely appreciated, screw-down pushers and metal bezel. Curiously, there are instead two versions of black bezel and screw pushers Daytonas: 6263 and 6240, although 6240 was never made in gold.
This superb wristwatch is aesthetically outstanding: the luxurious gold case envelops the pitch black matte dial, on which the only concession to a brighter palette are the champagne subdials and the gold numerals and hands. The result is highly dramatic and impressive.
