Christie's Geneva Auction: Two Rare Rolex Daytona Masterpieces
Christie's Rare Watches auction in Geneva on November 10 will showcase two highly coveted Rolex Daytona models. The first, a circa 1970 stainless steel Rolex Daytona reference 6262, bears a rare 'Tiffany & Co.' inscription on the dial and was once owned by actor George Peppard. The second, a 1967 Rolex Daytona reference 6239, nicknamed 'The Doctor', is estimated to be worth significantly more.
The first watch, a Rolex Daytona reference 6262, is expected to fetch between $130,000 and $250,000. This model is particularly rare due to its Tiffany & Co. signature, with fewer than five examples known to exist today. Actor George Peppard, known for his role in 'The A-Team', previously owned this watch, adding to its allure.
The second watch, a Rolex Daytona reference 6239, is a true gem among collectors. Known as 'The Doctor', this model features a pulsations dial and no 'Daytona' name. Its estimated value ranges from $510,000 to $760,000. Despite its high value, the identity of the Florentine doctor offering this watch remains unknown.
Both watches are set to captivate collectors at Christie's Rare Watches auction in Geneva on November 10. The Rolex Daytona reference 6262, with its Tiffany & Co. signature, and the Rolex Daytona reference 6239, the 'Doctor', represent rare opportunities for enthusiasts to acquire highly desirable timepieces with fascinating histories.
