Specialist note
Four digit Rolex Daytona’s are some of the most desirable and collectible wristwatches, and Reference 6265 is no exception. The timepiece is constructed from 18k yellow gold and has a screw-down crown and pushers to ensure a water-tight seal. They also offer a more sporty aesthetic.
The watch has a matte black dial and gold registers that complement the 18k yellow gold case. This gold and black combination provides a striking, beautiful contrast. Another interesting and distinctive feature about Reference 6265 is the “Oyster” text below Rolex. It is large and excludes “Perpetual” since the watch is manually wound. The watch measures at 37mm, making it more suitable for a plethora of wrist sizes. However, it maintains a large presence due to the sporty styling and 18k yellow gold case.
