A reference point for Daytona collectors, the Rolex chronograph reference 6263 has become throughout the years one of the most sought after Rolex timepieces. Introduced in 1969, the 6263 is the sister reference of the 6265 and replaced the first oyster chronograph, reference 6240. Offered with the upgraded caliber 727 as well as screw down pushers enhancing waterproof abilities, the timepiece bears the “Oyster” designation on the upper-half of its dial and differed from the 6265 through its black bezel graduated to 200 units.
A strong favorite for many, examples in such complete and attractive overall condition are rarified gems for collectors. Highly attractive, the timepiece features a very coveted black dial displaying the attractive red “Daytona” script and contrasting subsidiary registers. Enhancing its importance, the chronograph is offered with a very rare and complete set of accessories, from its Rolex warranty stamped Bailey Banks & Biddle to additional bracelet links, receipts, product literature, box and outer packaging with a very attractive original Rolex sticker.
A similar example is illustrated and described in: Ultimate Rolex Daytona, Pucci Papaleo, pp. 448-450.
