This 6263 in yellow gold offered here is in excellent condition:
Produced from around late 1969 to 1988, reference 6263 is perhaps known as the most iconic Daytona model: it is the archetype that collectors think of when the word “Vintage Daytona” is used.
Integrating the screw-down pushers of its predecessor 6240, as well as the improved Caliber 727 movement beating at a higher rate, reference 6263 and its metal bezel sibling reference 6265 represent the most evolved manual winding Daytonas, marketed as waterproof down to 165 ft (50 meters) thanks to the screw-down Oyster pushers and case.
While the stainless steel version is already well appreciated and sought after by collectors, the yellow gold versions (14k and 18k) are even more desirable due to their much more limited production. The vast majority of reference 6263 gold examples are fitted with so-called “OCC” dials, with a roughly equal split between the “golden panda” (champagne dial with black subdials) and the “black panda” or “reverse panda” (black dial with champagne subdials).
The story of Rolex began in London in 1905 when Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis founded Wilsdorf & Davis, a watch company that soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company. In 1919, Rolex moved its headquarters to Geneva. The brand’s success can be attributed to many “early” innovations, including the famous “Oyster” case in 1926 and the “Perpetual” self-winding movement for wristwatches in 1933. Among the most prestigious brand name in the world, Rolex has developed world-renowned collections such as the Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Day-Date, as well as professional collections: Explorer, Submariner, GMT-Master, Daytona.
