Launched in the late 1960’s along with its counterpart reference 6262, the 6264 was the last to feature round “pump” chronograph pushers. Differentiating from the 6262, it features a black acrylic bezel insert rather than a solid stainless steel bezel featured in the 6239 and 6262. In production for only three years, the reference is one of the rarest out of all and produced in 14K yellow gold, 18K yellow gold and stainless steel. It is believed that approximately only 1,700 examples were encased in stainless steel. Furthermore, both references launched were fitted with the new upgraded caliber 727. The caliber 727 was proved to be significantly more precise than the previous caliber 722 with an increase from 18,000 to 21,600 vibrations per hour.

The present example is a stainless steel reference 6264 fitted with a clean silvered dial featuring coffee brown “tropical” subsidiary dials. Presented in excellent overall condition with crisp case edges and lugs further charmed by the excellent condition of the bracelet, this present piece is highly desirable for lovers of vintage chronograph wristwatches. With the reference alone already one of the rarest, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an excellent and well preserved example of a reference 6264 with very attractive “tropical” subsidiary dials.
