Specialist note

With Rolex fitted green presentation box and outer packaging.

The present timepiece is a wonderful example of reference 6263, the dial astounding in its perfection, the case retains its edges, finishing and proportions and it mounts its original crown and pushers. While reference 6263 usually mounts a bezel with black plastic insert, the present timepiece has a metal bezel. It is easy to deduce that the former owner had it changed to better suit his taste.
