Consigned by the original owner, the present chronograph can be considered a reference point for Daytona enthusiasts. Becoming throughout the years one of the most sought-after Rolex timepieces, the 6263 was introduced in 1969 as the sister reference of the 6265 and replaced the first oyster chronograph, reference 6240. Offered with the upgraded caliber 727 as well as screw down pushers enhancing waterproof abilities, the timepiece bears the “Oyster” designation on the upper-half of its dial and differed from the 6265 through its black bezel graduated to 200 units.
A strong favourite for many, the present chronograph features a very coveted black dial displaying the attractive red “Daytona” script and contrasting subsidiary registers.

This timepiece, acquired in 1976, was a supplement to the service-watch of an officer serving the Danish Army Special Operation Forces for a long period of time.
A similar example is illustrated and described in: Ultimate Rolex Daytona, Pucci Papaleo, pp. 448-450.
