An incredible Rolex Daytona Vintage, Ref 6264, Paul Newman, Gold... Lemon Dial.
Not the kind of stuff you see everyday. I saw quite many Daytona Paul Newman in real life, but in gold, with this lemon dial, never. The sub dials are almost chocolate... Eye catching. Thanks to our dear Don Justino to have let me taken these photos. Best...
A super rare bird. Probably a few hundred produced.
But most likely not too many have survived till this day.
From what we know so far and from my research Bill, only 6 - 7 have resurfaced in auctions or private sales. This particular one which came from the original owner with everything and 100% provenance, NEVER 😉😜
This article by Xupes UK (below) is a good read and coincidently, there is a 6264 Lemon coming up at a Christie's auction on May 9 😉 Xupes article :
Yikes 😳🙊🙈🙉
Here is a link to the upcoming Christie's auction 😉. Maybe your friend can get back the one he let go 😁 www.christies.com
He was in and out at breakeven so happy ending.
This big boy stuff. I am still in shorts. Lol. Just wonder if this one is Italy provenance.
I'm not a fan of colored metal... but this is an exception!
Epic piece, Nico! thanks for sharing the pics here cheers
