About this reference
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6262 was produced for a brief period between approximately 1970 and 1971. It serves as a transitional model, retaining the pump pushers and steel tachymeter bezel of the earlier 6239 while introducing the higher-beat Valjoux-based Caliber 727 movement. This manual-wind caliber increased the vibrations per hour from 18,000 to 21,600, improving chronometric precision. Due to its short production run of roughly one year, the 6262 is one of the rarest manual-wind Daytona references. Collectors specifically seek examples featuring the "Exotic" or Paul Newman dial, characterized by stepped sub-dials and art deco numerals. On the secondary market, standard steel 6262 models typically command prices between $60,000 and $100,000, while versions equipped with original Paul Newman dials frequently exceed $250,000 at auction. Its rarity is attributed to the rapid industry shift toward screw-down pushers found in the subsequent reference 6265.
