ROLEX DAYTONA COSMOGRAPH – Ref. 6265 – Stainless Steel Chronograph with Rare Silver “Floating Red” Dial – Oyster Bracelet – Original Box

We are proud to present this very good, vintage ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA, Ref. 6265, made in stainless steel and fitted with a Rolex Oyster bracelet. (Rolex service - SX12).

As one of the final references from the manually wound Daytona era, the 6265 is revered by collectors for its robust screw-down pushers, clean bezel design, and its iconic place in Rolex chronograph history.

This example is fitted with a flawless, silver Tritium dial, featuring the elusive “floating red” DAYTONA designation — a spacing anomaly that appears subtly detached from the 6 o’clock subdial. This rare dial variant is a standout among vintage Daytona configurations and highly prized by  connoisseurs.

The subdials retain strong contrast against the silver background, while the luminous plots have aged evenly, adding warmth and authenticity to the piece. The original hands remain intact and consistent with the dial's patina.

Powering the watch is the renowned Valjoux 727 chronograph movement, a high-frequency evolution of the Valjoux 72, finished to Rolex’s exacting standards. Known for its reliability and mechanical elegance, the 727 is the heartbeat of the golden era Daytona.

This 6265 is accompanied by:

- Original Rolex wooden presentation box

- Vintage Rolex cleaning cloth

Offered in very good vintage condition, the watch shows only light signs of wear consistent with age and has clearly been preserved with care. The case remains strong, with well-defined lugs and a sharp screw-down bezel. Chronograph functions are crisp and fully operational.

With its rare dial variant this Daytona 6265 represents a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking a standout example from the manual-wind Daytona lineage.
