Catalogue Note
References 6263 and 6265 were launched in 1969 in stainless steel, 14k and 18k yellow gold cases. The calibre used was the 727, which runs at 21’600 beats per hour; the cases were guaranteed to be water resistant to 50 meters due to the screw-down pushers and crown developed by Rolex.
