Notes
Among the various references of the legendary Rolex Daytona, the ref. 6263 is an important and exceptional model from the generations of manually-wound Daytona watches. The first Daytona, together with the reference 6265, to present the “Oyster” writing on the dial. Instantly recognizable, the reference 6263 consistently ranks among the most desirable vintage Daytona models available.
This example comes with a black dial fitting the so-called “Big Red” Daytona writing.
