A classic favorite among collectors, the present reference 6262 is distinguished by its highly sought-after white exotic 'Paul Newman' dial, which contrasts sharply with black subsidiary registers. The aesthetic that has made these dials legendary among Rolex Daytona enthusiasts is perfectly embodied in this eye-catching and well-balanced design.
The watch was notably one of the highlights of the now-legendary Christie’s 2013 thematic sale, Rolex Daytona - Lesson One, which brought together 50 exceptional examples of the world’s most celebrated chronograph wristwatch. Its inclusion in that landmark auction further underscores its importance and desirability.
Reference 6262 is already one of the rarest non-screw-down pusher Paul Newman Daytonas. Beyond its inherent rarity, however, a subtle detail, the start of a subtle color shift on the outer minute track toward a warm hazelnut brown, will captivate the discerning collector. This natural evolution, called tropicalization, is a clear indication of the dial's aging process, even though it is still subtle and in its early stages. This change will only strengthen the watch's personality over time, progressively transforming an already remarkable timepiece into an even more sought-after item of desire.
Few watches command as much attention as the manual-winding Rolex Cosmograph. It is now, almost without a doubt, the most sought-after vintage watch in the world due to its numerous references and dial variations. Daytona models equipped with so-called Paul Newman dials are at the pinnacle of collectability within this exclusive group.
Reference 6262
Produced for only a brief period between 1970 and 1972, reference 6262 is among the rarest of all vintage Rolex Daytonas. It is part of the last generation of Rolex chronographs with simple round pump pushers, along with its sister reference 6264. A significant technological advancement occurred in 1971 when screw-down chronograph pushers were added to all later references, starting with 6263 and 6265.
Reference 6262 was offered in stainless steel, as well as in 14k and 18k gold, and is characterized by its polished metal bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale, an understated yet elegant counterpart to the later acrylic bezel models.
