ROLEX Daytona
« floating Big Red » full set
Ref. 6263
Iconic and sublim design, the « Big Red » generation of the Daytona certainly helped building the legend of ROLEX as a brand. It is one of its best seller and an analogy with the sports cars universe would say it is the 911 of the wrist! The « Big Red » is the third dial generation of this reference and came after the « Sigma » dial. It was produced from 1975 until 1987.
Serial: 6.19x.xxx (1980)
Dial: absolutely FLAWLESS and very silvery dial. The manually applied « DAYTONA » in red bold sherif font is positioned with quite some space above the 6 o’clock sub register ans is known among collectors as a « floating Big Red ». All the tritium dots are present and they all react well under the UV test (glow green & vanish quickly). The handset is also featuring original tritium luminous.
Case: superb thick case. Lugs and case retain their original shapes and proportions. Satin finish and distance of the holes from the edges on the side of the watch is large & equidistant.
Pushers: MK1 (without circular line) matching the period (switch from MK1 to MK2 around serial 6.5m).
Bezel: original MK3 consistent with this serial and dial generation.
Mouvement: Valjoux 727. Original caseback engraved 6263.
Bracelet: Rolex oyster bracelet 78350/19 with 571 end links.
Box & Papers: Rolex presentation box, cover box, original guarantee, translation, calendar and Rolex Spain service paper from 2007.
A glorious « floating Big Red »!
