Rolex “6265 Big Red” Daytona

Description

Offered here is a beautiful example of Rolex Daytona, Ref. 6265 (circa 1979-80; 6.0m serial), nicknamed the “Big Red” Daytona, due to the printing of “Daytona” in bright red letters in the center of the dial. This example is outfitted with a panda-silver dial, and features screwdown pushers.

The condition of this Daytona is excellent. The case was likely lightly polished in the past, but with strong, thick and even lugs.  The dial is in beautiful condition, with no flaws.  The original tritium lume is still present on both dial and hands, with extremely beautiful and puffy plots, with no loss (save for a very minor chip in the 3 o’clock plot), and aged to a nice yellow color.  The watch comes with a 78350/19 oyster bracelet, with 571 endlinks. The bracelet has no stretch, and has 13 full links.
