Notes

The dial is a correct and highly attractive MK2 Oyster Paul Newman, featuring the signature three-color design with a matte white main surface, contrasting black subsidiary registers with square-end markers, and the well-balanced three-line “Rolex Oyster Cosmograph” designation. The stepped outer minute-track with elongated hash marks is fully consistent with MK2 specifications, while the luminous plots remain uniform and well-preserved.

Equipped with its original screw-down pushers and period-correct crown, this reference 6263 exemplifies the transition of the Daytona into a true waterproof “Oyster” chronograph. The harmonious combination of a stainless steel case, MK2 Paul Newman dial, and calibre 727 movement places this watch among the most sought-after and iconic configurations ever produced by Rolex.

A superb, complete, and exceptionally collectible example of the legendary reference 6263.
