1971 Rolex Daytona 6265 Pre-Daytona Black Dial

Case: The 37mm case is excellent, showing a bright sleeve-polished finish and some light wear from use. The stainless bezel is also in excellent condition, showing only light wear from use. The back is stamped with a 6262 caseback which is correct for this early 6265 reference.

Dial: The matte black Mark 1 dial is excellent, showing little if any wear for its age. All the lume plots are present and intact. The lume has aged to a warm, creamy hue, and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The 12-link Oyster bracelet is excellent, showing only very light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1982 date code.

Accessories: None.

Notes: After a long battle on the track, the two-driver team of Pedro Rodriguez and Jackie Oliver, in a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917K, beat Tony Adamowicz and Ronnie Bucknum in their Ferrari 512M to take first place in the 1971 24 Hours of Daytona race.
