The present Rolex Daytona reference 6262 has a striking black dial and silvery-white registers that contrast beautifully against the shiny steel bezel. It is preserved in excellent overall condition and is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking to add a good example of a vintage Daytona to their collection.
Reference 6262, along with the reference 6264, was produced from the end of the 1960s through approximately 1972. The model was produced in stainless steel and both 14k and 18k gold, and the 6262 featured a metal bezel with engraved tachometer scale, while the 6264 featured a bezel with black plastic insert and printed tachometer scale. Around 9,000 steel versions and several dozen gold versions of the 6262 model were produced, and all featured the latest generation 727 caliber, which was an improved version of the Valjoux 72 featuring a higher-beat rate for greater accuracy.
