Over the past few years, the earlier Cosmograph Daytona has become a grail watch for many vintage watch enthusiasts. Specifically, the iconic reference 6263 “Big Red” that features an evolved screw-down pusher, black acrylic bezel and its iconic red print Daytona on the dial such as the present example. Perfectly proportioned and suitable for everyday wear, the Big Red will go down as one of the most important watches of the century.
Consigned by the family of the original owner, the present example was made in the last year of production and has been retained in very original condition featuring all original parts.
