The Rolex Daytona Ref. 6265 "Big Red" is an icon of vintage sports watchmaking. Noted for the bold red "DAYTONA" text above the 6 o’clock hour counter, this reference features a matte black dial with contrasting white subdials—commonly referred to as a "reverse panda" configuration. The 37 mm stainless steel case houses the manual-wind Valjoux 727 calibre, celebrated for its reliability and chronometric precision. Screw-down pushers and the Triplock crown enhance water resistance. The watch is fitted with a Rolex Oyster bracelet, completing its refined yet sporty appearance. Produced around 1978, the 6265 "Big Red" remains one of the most coveted vintage Daytonas among collectors for its aesthetics, performance, and iconic status.
