Lot Essay

Beginning at the end of the 1960's, Rolex began producing the references 6262 and 6264. This new generation of Daytonas featured on the 6262 a metal bezel, and on the 6264 a black plastic bezel. They also featured the 727 caliber, a modified version of the Valjoux movement used on all of Rolex's manually wound production until 1987, when it was replaced by a modified Zenith El Primero movement.
