References 6263 was launched together with reference 6265 in 1969. Rolex used the calibre 727, which runs at 21’600 beats per hour; the case was originally guaranteed to be water resistant to 50 meters due to the new screw-down pushers and crown developed by the manufacturer. This watch is one of the last generations of this model produced, identified by the style of text used for the Daytona above the 12-hour register.
