Notes
The reference 6262 represents, with the 6264, the rarest pump buttons manual winding Daytona made by Rolex for approximately 18 months, we estimate that only the 10 percent of the watches made were sold with an exotic dial that became famous as “Paul Newman”. Never offered at auction at before, this 6262 has been very well preserved featuring a clear step dial with all luminous plots present matching to its hands.
