Description

The present reference is a rare Rolex Oyster Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6265, produced circa 1970 in stainless steel and distinguished by its highly coveted Tiffany & Co. stamped dial.

The 37 mm case showcases the purposeful proportions of Rolex’s early manual-winding chronographs, with a silver dial featuring contrasting black registers and a clear chronograph layout. The additional Tiffany & Co. signature beneath the Rolex name adds exceptional rarity and historical interest, making this an especially desirable example for collectors.

Powered by a manual-winding movement, the watch displays hours, minutes, and chronograph functions. With its stainless-steel construction, vintage silver dial, and rare retailer-signed configuration, this Daytona represents one of the most collectible expressions of Rolex’s early professional chronograph lineage.

Renamed Rolex by 1908 and moved its base of operations to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919.  Their success is due to their innovation namely the legendary “Oyster” case – first water resistant watch and their extremely reliable movements.
The most famous models are Datejust, Day-Date, Daytona, Explorer, GMT-Master, Submariner and many more.
The company is owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, a family private trust.
One story, never confirmed by Wilsdorf, recounts that the name came from the French words “horlogerie exquise”, meaning “exquisite clockwork”.
