These watches have become the ultimate expression of the vintage Rolex Daytona. With production starting in 1969, 6265 was the last Rolex chronograph reference to house the iconic hand wound Valjoux 727 movement and was blessed with timeless proportions, sporty style and combined the Oyster case with screw down pushers, ensuring it was completely waterproof.
This particular model stands apart from its contemporaries executed in 14k yellow gold and boasting a Paul Newman dial.
