Rolex introduced the reference 6263 alongside the 6265 in the early 1970s. The references featured screw down pushers and either a black acrylic or metal calibrated bezels. The present example made in 1975 stands out by its Sigma designation at 6 o'clock. The Sigma symbols are placed either sides of the T Swiss T to indicate the use of white gold for its numerals.
