Rolex Daytona Ref. 6265 ‘The Unicorn’

Phillips describes this as the only known manually wound vintage Daytona made in white gold, reportedly a special order for a German retailer. It became publicly known in 2013 and sold at Phillips on 12 May 2018 for CHF 5,937,500 to benefit Children Action. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Phillips source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
