Rolex, Cosmograph Daytona, Ref. 6263, no. 397xxxx, original warranty dated February 5, 1979. A beautiful and legendary "sigma big red" chronograph in steel, black tachometric bezel, black dial/silver zones, external minute track, applied baton hour markers, luminous hands and studs, permanent seconds at 9 o'clock, 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers. Crown, engraved caseback 6263 and screwed push-buttons, mechanical hand-wound movement calibre 727. Oyster bracelet reference 78350 with folding clasp, teminaisons 571. Comes with box, manual and rare original warranty card. The chronograph is in excellent overall condition and in perfect working order. The dial is flawless, with no stains in the gray reserves and having retained all its cream patina luminous dots. Our very fine example, in this most sought-after "big red" Daytona black dial version, represents a rare opportunity to wear one of the icons of watchmaking on your wrist. References 6263/6265, produced between 1969 and 1987, replaced references 6239 and 6262, with the remarkable addition of screwed pushers for greater robustness and dust-resistance. The 6263 is distinguished from the 6265 by its bezel, the former in black resin printed with the tachometric scale, the latter with an engraved steel bezel. Dial evolutions and variations over the almost 20 years of production make these references a veritable playground for collectors and enthusiasts. These references 6265 and 6263 have definitively entered the pantheon of chronographs and, more broadly, of watchmaking.
