The reference 6265 was introduced by Rolex simultaneously with the reference 6263 in 1969. Offered in either stainless steel or gold, the Cosmograph Daytona reference 6265 was in production until 1987.
Today, reference 6265 has reached a cult-like status amongst watch enthusiasts around the world, due to the watch’s impressive look, technological finesse and presence in popular culture. Most remarkably, the “Daytona” signature was completed in enlarged red font, as seen on the present watch. This attention-grabbing feature is dubbed by watch collectors as “Big Red”, and is highly coveted by collectors. The present watch is a later generation example, and is distinguished by the Oyster triplock 700 series crown - characterized by three raised dots under Rolex coronet, fitted on last productions.
Adding to its desirability is the excellent condition of this timepiece. It features sharp finishes to the top of the lugs and a well preserved case back. The luminous dots are furthermore all intact and match in tone. Accompanied with warranty, green leather fitted presentation box as well as Rolex hang tag, this lot presents an exquisite opportunity that should not be missed.
