The present watch, reference 6264, is an exceedingly rare model which was produced for a very short period in the early 1970s. The model features the caliber 727. In contrast, its predecessors, such as reference 6239 or 6241 were fitted with caliber 722. Reference 6264 is most notably fitted with a black acrylic bezel and pump pushers.

Due to the reference's short production period, it is incredibly rare to find an example cased in yellow gold. Yet, to find one in 14k gold such as the present watch is almost unheard of. Research suggests that Rolex watches delivered to the United States were cased in 14K yellow gold due to import reasons. The fact is especially pertinent when one considers the Tiffany & Co signature on the dial, supporting the fact that the present watch was made for the American market, and retailed at the jeweler. Originally founded as Tiffany & Young by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in 1837, the American firm retailed some of the most exquisite watches from watchmakers such as Patek Philippe and Rolex.

The case has been preserved in excellent condition, with the hallmark for 14K gold, a squirrel, punched under the lug. All gold marks are crisp and legible, and the top of the lugs feature sharp finishes throughout. There is a light layer of patina near the pushers, which gives this watch so much charisma. It takes a long time for patina to "build", and one can conclude that the present watch has been untouched for years, having seen no intervention.

The most eye catching feature however, is the dial. On top of the cherished Tiffany & Co signature, the watch also features subsidiary registers which have turned a beautiful brown shade over time. This "tropical" effect gives the watch immense character, and provides warmth and contrast to the dial, especially against the gold graphics and champagne background.

Proudly displayed in Ultimate Rolex Daytona, the present watch offers innumerable pleasure and striking details for even the most discerning collector.
