Description: Rolex Daytona 6263 "Big Red" 

Rolex came out with the Daytona in 1963 and today modern and vintage examples alike are some of the most sought after watches in the world. Rolex came out with the reference 6263 around 1971 and this would be the last generation of the manually wound Daytona. The defining characteristics of the reference 6263 are the screw down style pushers and the black acrylic bezel. Rolex offered this model in a few variations in stainless steel. Rolex offered them with a black dial with white sub registers, like the example we have here today or with a black dial and silver registers. Rolex also offered these with exotic dials known as Paul Newman dials and they offered the model in all gold as well. 

The example we are offering here has the striking black dial with red "Daytona" text on the dial and collectors refer to these as the "Big Red" Daytona's. The 6263 is one of the most desirable watches and we have seen a real uptick in demand over the last few years. Collectors tend to gravitate towards the 6263 because of the black acrylic bezel and screw down pushers giving the watch an aggressive, yet classic aesthetic. Paul Newman had a 6263 "Big Red" Daytona very similar to this example (same variation) and that watch sold at auction in 2020 for $5,475,000. 

This example is coming directly from the family of the original owner who clearly took good care of it over the years. This watch has retained its box and papers which is always a bonus and it even has the green caseback sticker still in tact! If you have been in the market for an excellent 6263 "Big Red" with box and papers, this is worth considering!
