The Rolex Daytona reference 6265 like the present model or its sister reference 6263 with acrylic bezel hardly need an introduction. Amongst the most popular and coveted vintage chronograph models, these references have become benchmarks.

Launched in the late 1960s, references 6263 and 6265 replaced the first Oyster Cosmograph model, 6240. Reference 6265 was introduced to the market in 1969 precisely and ceased production in the late 1980s. Compared to the first generation of the Cosmograph Daytona, the model featured screw down pushers and thus carries the "Oyster" designation on the dial, offering water resistance. The model was offered in either stainless steel or gold and the movement was also upgraded from a Valjoux 722 movement to the more reliable Valjoux 727 movement.

The present model in superb condition has 11 characters printed on its dial that will certainly make the hearts of Daytona collectors beat even faster. Found beneath the “Oyster Cosmograph” script at 12 o’clock is the prestigious “Tiffany & Co.” retailer signature.

Adding to its ultimate desirability is the wonderful condition of this timepiece. The case may have never been polished, the lugs are thick, the bevels crisp and the combination of brushed and polished surfaces intact.

To most vintage Rolex collectors, a reference 6263 Oyster Cosmograph Daytona represents a must have due to its superb aesthetics, legibility, and wearing comfort. To find one with such a dial, adorned with the prestigious Tiffany & Co. signature, presents an extraordinary opportunity that should not be missed.
