An icon among watch enthusiasts, the Rolex Daytona 6265 is considered a true grail for collectors around the world. This example, produced in 1982, represents one of the last versions of the manual-winding Daytona, equipped with the legendary Valjoux 727 movement. The dial, with the "Daytona" inscription in bright red ("Big Red"), gives the model a distinctive character and makes it particularly sought-after among enthusiasts.
The 6265 features a sturdy steel bezel with an engraved tachymeter scale, differentiating it from other references that use a black acrylic bezel. Screw-down pushers ensure water resistance, combining elegance and durability. With a 37 mm case, this model strikes the perfect balance between classic style and sporty performance.
Preserved in excellent condition and offered as a complete set, this Rolex Daytona 6265 is a testament to the historical heritage of the Daytona line. Produced until 1988, the year in which Rolex introduced five-digit references, the 6265 was one of the last manual-winding models, making it a must-have for discerning collectors and connoisseurs of high-end watches.
The case of this 6265 is in excellent condition, as it has never been polished, which preserves its original integrity. The bracelet, marked '78350', features a '571' end link and a clasp stamped with the letter 'H', and is also in excellent condition. The dial is in extraordinary condition, showing only light patina on the subdials, and all parts are original. Additionally, this watch comes with a 12-month warranty from Watchive, which covers any mechanical issues, giving you added peace of mind with your purchase.
