AN ATTRACTIVE 18K GOLD CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH BRACELET SIGNED ROLEX, DAYTONA MODEL, REF. 6265, CASE NO. 6'123'297, CIRCA 1979 Movement: Manual Dial: Black Case: 37.5 mm. diam.

Further enhancing this watch is the very rare 18k gold Rolex mesh bracelet which beautifully melds elegance and sportiness. Another noteworthy feature is the four-digit number (in this instance 7284) that is engraved on the movement plate in front of the caliber number. This number corresponds to the number given for the C.O.S.C. test of the movement at the Geneva Observatory, a characteristic exclusively found on the cal. 727 movements in gold cased references 6263 and 6265 from the 1970s and 1980s. Reference 6265 Launched in the 1970s, the reference 6265 is the sister reference of the 6263. Inheriting attributes of reference 6240, the standard version chronograph bears the 'Oyster' designation on the upper-half of its dial and is built with screw-down pushers, a screw back and screw-down crown. Manufactured over a period of approximately 17 years, gold examples of the reference were produced in small volume, estimated at approximately 10% of the overall production and were made in 14K as well as 18K gold. The 6265 chronograph was made with a slightly wider case, giving the wristwatch a more athletic feel than earlier references. Produced from 1971 right up to 1988, it represents the last of the manual-winding Daytona models.
