Specialist note
Launched in the 1970s, the reference 6263 is the sister reference of the 6265. Inheriting attributes of reference 6240, the chronograph bears the “Oyster” designation on the upper-half of its dial and is built with screw-down pushers, a screw back and screw-down crown.
Made in steel, 14 and 18 karat gold, it is estimated that over a 20 year period, only 24,000 reference 6263 and 6265 were produced in stainless steel. The chronograph was made with a slightly wider case, giving the wristwatch a more athletic feel than earlier references.
Powered by the Valjoux 727 movement, the present reference has a black metal bezel insert and a dial with red “Daytona” signature, the present reference is offered with its original guarantee papers and presentation box.
