The present watch is a rare Rolex Daytona reference 6263 in 14k gold. Made for the American market, the watch also includes a rare made in U.S.A. Jubilee-style bracelet. The present watch is 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 from the widow of the original owner, who loved Rolex watches and viewed this watch as a prize to be worn proudly and sparingly. The watch is remarkable for the beautiful condition and the fact that the bracelet, pushers, and case are developing a beautiful pink color. 14k gold generally has more copper in it, which can cause it to age pink over time.

To find a reference 6263 in 14k with a sigma dial and in this condition is extraordinarily difficult.

Different versions of this model are described and illustrated in I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 328 - 335.
