Planes next pointed out that the watch’s condition was seriously impressive. It looked brand new, in fact. Even the foil sticker, located on the base plate of the watch, still clearly showed its reference number, 6263. If the watch had been worn at, Peter says, all the numbers would have begun to fade long ago. Another authentication was the date stamp, which he pointed out, clearly showing the production date of 1971.

Many, many collectors absolutely adore this model, claims Planes. It is also known as the Daytona Rolex. Thanks, in no small part, to Hollywood actor Paul Newman who wore this model of Rolex in the film Winning from 1969. Newman, inspired and ignited by the movie, went on to compete as a professional racing driver. The Oyster was a part of the star’s iconic look.
