The Daytona 6265 was released in 1970. Vintage Daytonas were only available in SS, 18k YG and 14K YG.

Rolex made a total of one 6265 in white gold. It has been nicknamed "The Unicorn." The watch was made in 1970 and sold through a German retailer in 1971, probably to fill a special order.

The watch has a Sigma dial with white gold markers .

As you can see, the crown is a different color. That's because it is stainless steel.

The bracelet is white gold with bark finish. It was not the original bracelet that came with the watch, but it is a Rolex bracelet.
