Rolex Daytona 6262 Paul Newman Panda Dial – Rare Transitional Reference – Excellent Conditions

Rolex Daytona 6262 Paul Newman Panda Dial – Rare Transitional Reference – Excellent Conditions

Rare steel chronograph, 37mm diameter, Ref. 6262 with PANDA dial.
At Rolex, 1970 was marked by the launch of two Cosmograph references: the 6262 with the silver bezel and the 6264 with the acrylic bezel. Very similar to the previous generation, these two references were equipped with the improved 727 caliber derived from Valjoux. As often happens in production, the new reference was launched while spare parts for the previous one were still available, so some of the first models produced, like the current one, use an exotic Paul Newman Panda dial. Both references were only produced for a few years and were the last Daytona references to feature pump pushers, with their screw-down counterparts (ref. 6263 and 6265) quickly overtaking them in popularity.
This model features a “Panda” dial preserved in excellent condition and reference-correct with pump pushers.

The present Rolex Daytona reference 6262 “Paul Newman” boasts the following features:

Stainless steel folded link case and bracelet
