Presented in virtually “New Old Stock” condition, this timepiece is the benchmark for any last generation reference 6263 with a black dial. Produced during the very last years of the model’s manufacture period, it has not been altered since it left the Rolex factory over thirty years ago. The last-generation pushers, Oyster Triplock crown and “Big Red” Daytona dial configuration are all characteristics of the final and definitive manual winding Daytona.

The curved edges of the case, which would have lost definition with the slightest polishing are incredibly impressive. The same can be said about the straight, bold and unidirectional satin finishes on the top of the lugs. Another point of interest is the case back that displays the Rolex sticker. The inside case back bears no service marks at all. Starting from the 1980s, the case backs of reference 6263 did not display “Patented”, which is apparent on the present example.

The present watch is furthermore accompanied by its Rolex Garantie dated November 24, 1987, product literature, wallet, presentation box and outer packaging, proving an added layer of collectibility.
