Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6264 watch front

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Steel, pump pushers

Rolex, 1970–1972

Why It Matters

A manual-wind Cosmograph from the pre-Zenith era, the ref. 6264 pairs pump pushers with a black acrylic tachymeter bezel and Rolex's manual caliber 727. It is one of four closely related references that share the caliber but split on pusher and bezel type, and it could carry standard or exotic 'Paul Newman' dials.
