Lot Essay

Consigned by the family of the original owner, the present timepiece is a well-preserved representative of the Daytona reference 6263, featuring the very coveted black dial with the attractive big red 'Daytona' script and contrasting subsidiary registers. Its name derived from the bright red 'Daytona' designation, a most popular model in today's market, furthermore sold with the original Rolex Guarantee.

Reference 6263
Over the years, reference 6263 has become one of the most sought-after Rolex models. Introduced in 1969 as the sister reference of the 6265, it replaced the first Oyster chronograph, reference 6240. Fitted with the upgraded caliber 727 as well as coveting screw-down pushers, enhancing its water-resistant abilities, the 6263 bears the 'Oyster' designation on the upper half of its dial and also features a new black bezel graduated to 200 units. The defining feature of the reference is undeniably the presence of the screw down-pushers, which makes the timepiece appear larger, sportier, and more masculine.
