This piece enchants the enthusiast because of its undeniable aesthetical appeal.

The watch was manufactured in 1973, a beautiful example of the second series 6263. These cases have serial numbers between 3.000.000 and around 4.300.000. Further improvement to the waterproof feature of the chronograph is afforded by the new 701 winding crown, recognisable by the 3 small spheres embossed under the Rolex logo.
