The reference 6265 has the iconic screw down pushers and a large winding crown, which was made in relatively low numbers. The fascinating Daytona, which has always had a racing connection due to the name coming from the famous race track in Florida, is fitted to a signed stainless steel Oyster bracelet with Oysterclasp. It has an alluring ‘reverse panda’ dial (black with white sub dials). The bracelet watch is one of the highlight timepieces to be offered for sale at Fellows Auctioneers in 2019.
Steven Yambo, Senior Watch Specialist at Fellows, said: “This is another example of an incredible Rolex up for sale at Fellows. Rolex Daytona watches such as this are also incredibly sought-after, especially with this watch being one of the earlier models. I expect it to generate a lot of interest at auction as there is great interest in Daytona watches with collectors, especially the hand wound manual models. With Paul Newman’s own personal Daytona selling recently for a world record price for a wrist watch at auction, at $17.8 million, it shows just how valuable watches such as these can be.”
