Rolex jointly introduced the references 6263 and 6265 in the early 1970s and stopped their production in 1988. While both references shared most of their design and technical attributes, the 6263 was fitted with a black bezel insert while the 6265 would showcase a bezel matching with the case material.
The present Daytona reference 6265 was manufactured in 1986. Its elegant 18k yellow gold case and bracelet are complemented by a matching dial, allowing the black registers to stand out. Serviced by Rolex in March 2018, the present timepiece bears all the luminescent plots to its very clean dial.
