Lot Essay

The presently offered wristwatch is a very attractive example of a “Big Red” Daytona reference 6263, the name derived from the bright red "Daytona" designation, a most popular model in today's market.

The reference 6263 was first introduced to the market in the early 1970s where the “Daytona” designation is found on examples from the mid-1970s onwards. The reference 6263 was introduced into the market in the early 1970s and was available in stainless steel, 14k and 18k gold. The model was fitted with the " Oyster" or "screw down" chronograph buttons and a bezel with black plastic insert, the tachymeter scale printed in white.
