Rolex “6263 Panda” Daytona

Description

Offered here is a beautiful example of a Rolex Daytona, Ref. 6263 (circa 1972-73; 3.6m serial), nicknamed the “Panda” Daytona.  This example is outfitted with a silver dial, and features screwdown pushers. These screwdown pusher-Daytonas have soared in popularity over the last couple decades, and are coveted by collectors, new and old.

The condition of this Daytona is excellent. The case appears unpolished, albeit worn from use, overall with a very strong and well-preserved case. The dial is in beautiful condition, with no flaws.  The original tritium lume is still present on both dial and hands, with extremely beautiful and puffy plots, showing no lume loss whatsoever.  The original and correct bakelite bezel is mint, with no cracks.

The watch also comes fitted on its original Rolex Oyster folded-link 7836/19 bracelet, with 271endlinks, dated to 1972. The bracelet has virtually no stretch, and has 12 links in total.
