Cosmograph Daytona reference 6263 was the last manual wound produced chronograph by Rolex alongside the reference 6265 and was discontinued in 1988. It was fitted with either a black acrylic bezel or a stainless steel version.
There are variations that make these references more collectible than others and what is appealing about this present watch is the Sigma designation at the bottom of the dial which collectors dubbed 'Sigma'.
The present watch is further elevated due to its appealing overall condition of its dial insert and pushers.
