Rolex Daytona 6263

Rolex Daytona Small Red Reverse Panda Dial

A highly attractive vintage Rolex 'cult' wristwatch with reverse panda dial - full set! The Small Red Daytona is a true horological icon. A legendary chronograph with a long and fascinating history. Reference 6263 dating from 1981 with reverse panda dial is one of the most highly sought-after vintage chronographs ever. Reference 6263 comes in a robust 37 mm stainless steel case and features a distinctive engraved acrylic bezel with tachymeter scale – different to its sister 6265, which comes with a steel bezel - which lends reference 6263 its powerful sporty look. The typical screw-pushers do not only enhance this model’s water resistance but also give the watch its distinctive appearance which is so loved by all Rolex Daytona fans. The obvious highlight of this watch, however, is the rare reverse panda dial, which is one of the most coveted dial versions ever - a jet-black dial with contrasting white subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. This colour scheme does not only guarantee enhanced readability, but also makes the watch particularly beautiful and desirable. The dial of this 6263 is in almost perfect condition with a lovely patina despite some slight impurities. All the luminous dots are present, the hands are exquisite. Despite having been polished, the case is in very good condition. Inside runs the manual-wound calibre Valjoux 727 with a blue balance spring.
