Catalogue Note
Reference 6265 was introduced to the market in the 1970s.The present model bears one of the standard dial designs for a Cosmograph Daytona featuring a lighter background and black subsidiaries (the other two versions are the reverse with black background with lighter-colour subsidiary dials, or the very rare Albino dial, where the background and subsidiary dials are monochrome silver in colour). Reference 6265 is usually supplied with a steel engraved calibrated bezel which contrasts with Reference 6263 and its acrylic bezel.
