Lot Essay

With Rolex Garantie dated 21 June 1986 and stamped by Hong Kong retailer la Suisse Watch Co., Rolex Service Guarantee dated January 1996, a second Rolex Service Guarantee dated July 1999, sale invoice dated 21 June 1986 and sale tag.

The present example of reference 6265 is offered in very attractive condition, with full case proportions and an untouched dial. The presence not only of its original guarantee, but also of the purchase invoice and of two service Guarantees is proof of the care and reverence this watch has always been looked after with.

Manually wound Daytonas are among the most recognized and sought after vintage chronopgraphs of the market. The "screw down pushers" versions, the ultimate embodiment of the famed Rolex Oyster case, are considered the most appealing examples. As a matter of fact, Rolex released only three models with screw down pushers: reference 6240 and 6263, with black bezel, and reference 6265, with metal bezel.
