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”. This watch represents a very rare example with an impressive chocolate brown subdials and register color. The Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman” has shown a growing interest through the years and is a secure investment for serious collectors.
