Lot Essay

Carefully cherished throughout the years, the present specimen is a rare opportunity for the discerning Rolex collector to become the owner of one of the rarest Daytona iterations ever produced – the 14k gold reference 6265.

Beyond its extreme rarity, the timepiece will captivate the heart of every Rolex enthusiast with its very well preserved case. The case has preserved full proportions and incredibly crisp hallmarks and engraved serial and reference numbers. Subtle traces of oxidation further show that the case has not been touched in a long time.

Another noteworthy feature is the four-digit number (in this instance 1471) engraved on the movement plate in front of the calibre number. This number corresponds to the number given for the C.O.S.C. test of the movement at the Geneva Observatory, a characteristic found exclusively on the cal. 727 movements of the gold cased references 6263 and 6265 from the 1970s and 1980s.

Reference 6265
A must have for collectors, the Rolex reference 6265 was launched around 1970 and is distinguished by its metal bezel with engraved tachymeter scale, screw down chronograph buttons and calibre 727 movement. Manufactured over a period of approximately 17 years, gold examples of the reference were produced in scarce volume, estimated to approximately 10% of the overall production, and were made in 14k as well as 18k gold. Only visible on gold iterations of the reference, the dial of the timepiece is bestowed with the chronometer certification text, “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” at 12 o’clock as well as the “Cosmograph” writing at 6 o’clock.
