Notes

One of the rarest Cosmograph models, reference 6264 was produced for a few years only in the early 1970s. Together with reference 6262, it was the last Rolex chronograph watch to be fitted with pump pushers. It is understood that only some 1,700 examples in stainless steel were ever made of reference 6264. Along with the rarity of the model, the present watch is also eye catching due to the “Paul Newman PANDA” dial.

Never offered on the market before, this watch was consigned by a Japanese enthusiast that bought the watch over 30 years ago from his mentor. Still fitted on a riveted bracelet dated 68, the watch has been kept in excellent condition and more importantly its dial has been kept in near mint condition with all lume plots fully present matching the hands, making this rare reference always a collector’s item.

Provenance

Property of a Japanese gentleman
