The Rolex Daytona 6265 in stainless steel with a black dial is a legendary vintage chronograph that embodies the golden era of mechanical watchmaking. This reference is equipped with the robust Valjoux 727 movement—a hand-wound caliber prized for its reliability and precision during an era before automatic chronographs became the norm.

The watch features a 37mm steel Oyster case with screw-down pushers and a metal tachymeter bezel, designed for added water resistance and durability—enhancements that set it apart from earlier models. The matte black dial, paired with contrasting silver subdials, exudes classic motorsport styling, while the crisp white printing and simple baton markers reflect the clean, utilitarian aesthetic that made vintage Daytonas so iconic. Today, the 6265 is highly sought after by collectors for its pure, tool-watch DNA and its place at the crossroads of Rolex’s transition from vintage to modern chronograph design.

The Rolex Daytona 6265 in stainless steel with a black dial is a revered vintage chronograph that embodies the essence of tool-watch precision and motorsport heritage. Introduced in the mid-1970s, the 6265 is notable for its screw-down pushers and steel tachymeter bezel, which enhanced water resistance and gave the model a sportier, more robust aesthetic compared to its predecessors.

This 37mm case houses a manual-winding Valjoux 727 movement, known for its reliability and crisp chronograph functionality. The black dial configuration—particularly desirable among collectors—features contrasting silver subdials, enhancing legibility and visual depth.

Paired with a steel Oyster bracelet, the 6265 delivers a harmonious blend of rugged functionality and vintage charm. Collectors prize this reference not only for its historical significance and aesthetic purity, but also for its rarity in well-preserved condition, especially with original dials and matching serials. The 6265 remains one of the most celebrated vintage Daytona references, representing the golden era of Rolex chronographs.

Best purchase experience I could have imagined. Donald from Wrist Aficionado was very helpful and responsive whether by text, phone call or email. Shared videos with me and helped me get the watch I have been chasing for sometime. I have found my preferred watch dealer and will be a repeat customer. Payment processed same day and the watch ship later that day. A Very Happy Customer. Thank you everyone at the WA team!

Dealing with Vadim was a pleasure. The price was very fair and the communication and service was perfect. I buy a lot of watches and this experience was as good as they get. The audemars piguet arrived right on time and packaged beautifully. They even threw in a little gift!
