Accompanied by a Rolex additional silvered dial, hands and spring bars. Manufactured in the last year of production, the present reference 6265 has been retained in excellent overall condition. The case proportions are extremely well preserved and the lugs still have their original factory proportions and satin finishes. The numbers between the lugs are incredibly crisp, all of which render this "small red" a wonderful and original example.
