Daytona

The Rolex Daytona 6265 (1979) in 18k yellow gold is one of the most sought-after vintage chronographs, symbolizing Rolex’s deep-rooted connection with motorsports. Unlike its stainless steel counterparts, this solid gold version was produced in much smaller quantities, making it a rare and valuable collector’s piece.

The 37mm 18k yellow gold Oyster case is paired with a matching gold bezel, engraved with a tachymeter scale for precise speed measurements. The screw-down pushers enhance water resistance and add to the watch’s robust and functional design.

The dial, available in champagne, black, or exotic "Paul Newman" variations, features contrasting gold sub-dials, applied hour markers, and Rolex’s signature "Daytona" text above the 6 o’clock sub-dial. The chronograph function includes a 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, and small seconds sub-dial, making it a true racing tool.

Powered by the Rolex caliber 727 manual-winding movement, based on the legendary Valjoux 72, the watch delivers a 48-hour power reserve and exceptional mechanical performance.

Fitted with an 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet, the Rolex Daytona 6265 (1979) is a rare blend of luxury, history, and racing heritage, making it one of the most desirable vintage Rolex models ever produced.
