I can say without a a doubt this Cosmograph Daytona 6263 form 1977 is one of the best watch that I’ve ever worn and also one of the most valuable watch on the secondary market. A true dream for any collector. The Daytona is still deeply connected to the racing world. When the Daytona Speedway opened in 1959, it was one of the world’s greatest venues for motorsports. In 1962, Rolex became Daytona’s official timekeeper. Although it was nicknamed the Daytona within the company, the reference 6239 bowed as the Cosmograph. The name Daytona wouldn’t appear on the dial until 1964. The Cosmograph Daytona is also inextricably linked to the figure of Paul Newman. Newman was both an accomplished racer and one of Hollywood’s brightest stars. Long before Paul Newman ever raced at Daytona, there was a Rolex Cosmography Daytona watch named after him. In the late 1960s, he appeared on the cover of Italian fashion magazine MODA wearing a Rolex model 6239 Daytona. This model and the 6241 have since been known as "Paul Newman" Daytonas. The 6263 I wear is 38mm, stainless steel bezel with acrylic inlay (calibrated 50/200 UPH), Oyster bracelet with manual-winding Valjoux 727 movement. A watch born to race 🏁 Tell me which are your dream watches! #cosmographdaytona #rolexdaytona #rolexpaulnewman #rolex6263 (presso Roma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXskav-oyhZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
