This Rolex Daytona Cosmograph 6263 is a classic that collectors dream of, famous for its iconic "Paul Newman" dial. The dial adopts a "panda" design, with a white main dial with black subdials and a black acrylic bezel, which forms a sharp contrast, showing the unique aesthetics of a vintage racing chronograph. Equipped with a Valjoux 727 manual winding movement, equipped with screw buttons and an Oyster waterproof case, it combines functionality and reliability, reflecting Rolex's pursuit of precision craftsmanship in the 1960s and 1970s.
As a model worn and promoted by Paul Newman himself, the 6263 has become the focus of the auction market due to its rarity and historical significance. Its dial details such as square hour markers, Art Deco-style fonts and "Millerighe" chronograph buttons are all original configurations, and some versions are accompanied by original box lists, further enhancing the collection value. This model has repeatedly set new records in auctions in recent years. For example, in 2021, a tropical dial version was sold for over 1 million Swiss francs, confirming its legendary status in the watch industry.
