The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6263 is one of the most desirable chronographs ever produced. This model's distinguishing features are the screw-down pushers and black bezel. This example features a "sigma dial" which means the hour markers are made of white gold. This watch is complete with box, certificate and original product literature, which is not very common these days. Rolex sports watches complete with box and papers are highly sought after by collectors and this reference 6263 would be a great addition to a watch collection.
