	The 6262 is the brief 1970–1972 transitional Daytona that pairs the older pump-pusher case of the 6239 with the new high-frequency caliber 727. It carries the engraved metal tachymetric bezel of its 6239 ancestor, runs in parallel with its acrylic-bezel sibling 6264, and was overtaken within two years by the screw-pusher (screw-down chronograph pushers) 6263 / 6265 pair that closed the manual-wind era. Production was small and the reference is one of the rarer manual-wind Daytonas in the secondary market.

	Tropical 6262 dials are production-period black dials that have aged to brown or chocolate under UV exposure. They exist but are scarcer than tropical 6263 / 6265 examples by virtue of the smaller population. Christie’s catalogued one such example, a 1970 6262 with tropical-register dial (~~lot 6446722~~, ~~sold via Christie’s online channels~~). The browning comes from the same lacquer instability documented across the period; the black pigment in the dial lacquer was unstable to light and heat, and decades of wear drove the colour shift. Tropical examples carry a significant premium where the case, movement, and pushers all read period-correct.

	The 6262 sits on the scarcer side of the manual-wind Daytona market because the production run was short. Standard examples trade below the Paul Newman tier but above the broader 6239 field, and the big thematic Daytona auctions helped pull the whole category upward. Auction depth is thinner here than on the 6263 and 6265, so single-lot results matter more.		The 6262 sits on the scarcer side of the manual-wind Daytona market because the production run was short.

Auction depth is thinner here than on the 6263 and 6265, so single-lot results matter more. The clearest recent datapoint is Christie’s Geneva, 6 November 2023, lot 2043 — a 1970 example with tropical registers, case 2'416'687 — which realised CHF 110,880 against an CHF 88,000–140,000 estimate.
