Rolex - 1980 Rolex 6263 “Big Red” Silver Daytona W/Papers and Serial Tag
There is certainly something special about the Big Red 6263. Considered the blue print for all modern Daytona’s with its signature “Big Red” Daytona text , to its contrasting black bezel and chunky screw down pushers, the classic 36mm variant was an instant classic in our eyes. Rolex made many variants of the 36mm Daytona from the pre-daytona to the Newman Exotic dials to this specific Big Red, but this variant is always the version we think of when the word Daytona comes to mind. This specific 6263 has a beautiful silver panda dial. Lume plots are saturated yellow and still puffy. Bracelet code is a later 2005 clasp on oyster.
