ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA - SHAPED BY SPEED

Publicerad den 17 juni, 2025

READY FOR A NEW CHAPTER

Born on the racetrack in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has become one of the most iconic and collectible chronographs in the world of watchmaking. Revered by collectors and connoisseurs alike, few early Daytonas have survived the decades - and fewer still are ever offered for sale. 

We are very proud to present this Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6262 from 1971, available at Nymans Ur through Rolex Certified Pre-Owned.

ROLEX RESTORATION ATELIER

This timepiece has undergone a full restoration by Rolex at the Atelier de Restauration in Geneva, where only the most historically significant watches are accepted. Each component was carefully disassembled, serviced and reassembled on a newly rhodium-plated baseplate, in accordance with the original specifications.

The dial and hands remain untouched, preserving their beautiful, original character - an essential detail for serious collectors.

CRAFTED FOR THE COLLECTOR

The watch is delivered in a hand-crafted wooden presentation box exclusive to the Atelier, accompanied by a personalized book documenting the restoration process and a two-year Rolex Certified Pre-Owned warranty.

Every detail - from the fine materials to the carefully compiled documentation - reflects the same care, precision and respect for heritage that define the watch itself

TIMELESS DESIGN, UNMISTAKABLE PRESENCE 

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona from this era carries a quiet sophistication that modern watches often struggle to match. Designed as an enduring, professional timekeeper for the racetrack, it remains every bit as relevant today as it was in the early 1970s. With its balanced dial layout, clean typography and perfectly placed subdials, it shows the visual harmony of a truly iconic design.

Thanks to its manually wound Valjoux 722 movement, the case remains slim and refined. At just over 37 mm in diameter, it wears with understated confidence - equally suited to a driving glove or a dinner jacket. Carefully preserved and restored, this timepiece offers the unique feeling of wearing the true original - one that stands apart in condition, character and heritage.

A COLLECTOR’S DREAM

This Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a dream watch for any serious collector - an icon whose legacy is fueled by race winners and style icons like Paul Newman. Dating from 1971, this particular example stands apart not only for its provenance but also for the care with which it has been preserved. A timepiece in remarkable condition, restored to Rolex’s own standards by the very hands that best understand its legacy. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a quietly iconic piece of watchmaking history.
