FootnotesRolex made the transition from simple sprung pump chronograph pushers to water resistant screw down pushers, earning the Oyster addition to the dial and entering the Daytona a place in the Water resistant part of their production. This reference with its bakelite bezel was made for a short period before being replaced by the 6263.
The Rolex Daytona continues to be among the most sought after vintage watches on the market today. The bold contrast between the dial colour and the subsidiary dials makes this model instantly recognisable and as such it has long been lauded as a design icon.Read MoreAdditional informationAuction informationBonhams cannot arrange for the delivery of lots containing mother of pearl or ruby into the United States due to import restrictions.Please note that in some circumstances we are unable to ship the watch with its strap due to regulations regarding material derived from endangered or otherwise protected species.The buyer or designated agent may collect the property in the country of sale.For information and estimates on domestic and international shipping please contact ThePackengers on:
