Notes
One of the rarest cosmograph Daytona models, reference 6262 was produced around one year in 1970-1971, the defining feature of the 6262 was an upgraded caliber 727 movement with higher frequency (21600 beats per hour) and better precision. It was the last Rolex chronograph watch to be fitted with pump pushers.
Never offered on the market before, this watch was consigned by a family who kept the watch for more than 25 years. Still fitted on its tight original bracelet 7835/19, end link 271 dated 4.71, the watch has been kept in excellent condition still showing a thick case and a beautifully preserved dial that has turned to an appealing cream color.
