Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6270 watch front

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow gold

Rolex, 1984–1986

Why It Matters

The ref. 6270 is a gem-set execution of the manually wound Daytona, with a pavé diamond dial and baguette-diamond bezel. The specific reference and factory configuration are the collecting distinction. An aftermarket gem-set Daytona is a different object and should not inherit this reference's identity or history.
