This wonderful 14k yellow gold Daytona is really a marvel to behold . Preserved in immaculate condition , the present watch features all the hallmarks of a legendary Daytona .
Firstly , the watch has been kept in pristine condition . The factory satin finishes to the top of the lugs are still very evident , and all edges are very crisp . All gold marks and hallmarks are extremely legible under the lugs , and the case back still retains its milled finish . Even the pushers are all original and are straight from the factory . The gilt graphics within the subsidiary dials complement this 14k gold Daytona further . There is a slight tarnish to the top right lug which gives this watch so much character .
Finally , this watch is cased in 14k gold , as opposed to the more commonly found 18k yellow gold . This denotes that the watch was made for the American market . Examples of reference 6265 cased in 14k gold are very rare to come by , and to find such an original example is equally rare .
