Catalogue Note
Accompanied by a leather presentation case, outer card box and a spare link.
Reference 6263 was introduced to the market in 1971 as an Oyster replacement for the earlier non-Oyster Ref. 6264. It was usually supplied with an acrylic bezel (the same as Reference 6240) which contrasts with Reference 6265 and its steel calibrated bezel.
