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 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.

~~Four~~ Bonhams lots between ~~2012~~ and 2017 give the reference a real trail beyond that single Christie's result. In chronological order: the Paul Newman sold for £55,250 in December 2012 (case back stamped 6239); the original-owner standard Cosmograph sold for £46,850 in June 2013, with its original box and a guarantee booklet dated 6 December 1975; a dual-stamped "Ref:6262/6264" example that sold for £84,100 in June 2014; and the family-owned Paul Newman that sold in the £70,000–90,000 range in June 2017.

Five Bonhams lots between 2009 and 2017, plus one Antiquorum result, give the reference a real trail beyond that single Christie's result. The earliest, a standard Cosmograph sold in June 2009 for £30,000 (case 2533340, retailed January 1972, two years after its 1970 manufacture), predates the rest of the trail by three years. From 2012 onward, in chronological order: the Paul Newman sold for £55,250 in December 2012 (case back stamped 6239); the original-owner standard Cosmograph sold for £46,850 in June 2013, with its original box and a guarantee booklet dated 6 December 1975; a dual-stamped "Ref:6262/6264" example that sold for £84,100 in June 2014; and the family-owned Paul Newman that sold in the £70,000–90,000 range in June 2017. Antiquorum's Forte dei Marmi sale added a non-Bonhams datapoint in June 2022, a standard example (case 2476816) that made EUR 62,640 against a CHF 31,200–63,000 estimate; the house's own catalogue essay frames the 6262 as differing from the 6239 "only concerning the movement" and pairs it with the 6264 as "the latest Rolex chronograph with pump pushers."
