Introduced in the late 1970s and remaining in production until 1987, Reference 6263 (together with Reference 6265) was predominantly made in steel. The present watch, on the other hand, is part of the more limited production of 18k gold cases, in this case estimated to be less than 2000 pieces. The key feature of these watches, apart from the use of the most precious metal, is the presence of the inscription: 'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified' on the dial, which specifies precisely the chronometric certification. The configuration of this black dial with contrasting champagne registers together with the black acrylic bezel is a combination of elegance and sportiness. Overall, the watch is in an excellent state of preservation and is accompanied by its original warranty, which confirms that it was sold in Italy in 1979.The Daytona is a highly sought-after watch in today's market and the yellow gold version has a charm that many will not forget: an icon of the 21st century.
