Diameter Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed Catalogue Essay To most vintage Rolex collectors, a reference 6263 Oyster Cosmograph Daytona represents a must have due to its superb aesthetics, legibility, and wearing comfort. To find one with such a dial, adorned with the prestigious Tiffany & Co. signature, presents an extraordinary opportunity. References 6263 and 6265 were both launched in 1969, replacing the first Oyster Cosmograph model, reference 6240. The stainless steel model with screw-down pushers was in production for nearly 20 years, and the present watch was manufactured in 1978. The combination of the watch’s silvered dial with black subsidiary dials, and its correct black acrylic bezel creates an eye-catching contrast with the steel case. Found beneath the “Oyster Cosmograph” script at 12 o’clock is the prestigious “Tiffany & Co.” retailer signature printed in black. Accordingly, like many Rolex watches sold by Tiffany, one can still notice remnants of the retailer’s internal code marked on the underside of the bottom right lug, which was most likely slightly rubbed off with wear and bracelet removal over the years. This sporty yet elegant watch is offered in excellent overall condition, and has been well preserved in its original state over the course of its 40-some year lifespan. The correctness and rarity of this piece makes it one of the most exciting examples of the reference one could hope to own. Read More
