圖錄文章
Amongst all of the Cosmograph Daytona references, the ref. 6264 is generally regarded as one of the most exclusive and rarest that were ever serially manufactured by Rolex. In production for a few years in the early 1970s together with its sister model the ref. 6262, these two models were fitted with the upgraded Valjoux movement cal. 727.

The luminous dots of this example have aged to a pleasing warm creamy tone, making the present lot an indelibly eye-catching and attractive wristwatch. The condition and quality of the watch are
outstanding, which posit this "Paul Newman" at the very top of the tree.

The rarity, well-preserved quality, and absolutely stunning dial allow the present watch to be one of the most collectable "Paul Newman" Daytonas to appear on the market. Intriguingly, the present
watch is only 27 numbers away from the example sold at the Hong Kong Watch Auction: SIX.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
