Catalogue Note

Represented by several different reference numbers, the Rolex Cosmograph has become one of the most iconic sporting watches of all time. Replacing the 6262 model in 1971, the 6263 was given its own distinctive look with the addition of a black acrylic insert to its bezel and a new set of pushers which were now screw-down and therefore waterproof.
