Specialist note

The present watch is a rare Rolex Daytona reference 6263 originally retailed by Tiffany & Co. in New York. It is further distinguished by the “Sigma dial”, meaning that it has the Greek sigma letters on either side of the “T SWISS T” signature below the six o’clock register. The sigma letters on the dial indicate that the hour markers are made of gold.

This Daytona comes directly from the original owner who received it as a gift from his father on his 18th birthday.
