Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIAM. 37 mm. THICKNESS 14 mm. Approx. overall length 187 mm. The watch was bought by the current owner during his trip to NY in 1984 and bought it at TOURNEAU as indicated by the stamped warranty. He wore the watch on his return from NY but then stored the watch without wearing it. It is a rare opportunity to buy an almost new 6263 complete with original box and certificate.
