About the Model

The Rolex Daytona “Sultan of Oman” ref. 6263 is undeniably iconic, owing to its historical importance, classic design, mechanical excellence, celebrity connections, and rarity. Its place in the pantheon of iconic luxury watches is firmly established, and it continues to be a symbol of horological prestige and timeless style. The resplendent stainless steel case, measuring 37mm, showcases the iconic tachymeter bezel, emblematic of the Daytona lineage's motorsport heritage. The tri-complex layout elegantly displays chronograph counters, a testament to Rolex's commitment to optimal legibility and functionality. Much like a symphony of style, the black dial is adorned with contrasting white sub-dials which exude a refined aura, harmonizing classic aesthetics with contemporary flair. The reason why this watch is held in such high regard is that this model of the Daytona was commissioned by the Sultan of Oman via the esteemed establishment of Asprey on London's renowned New Bond Street - who at the time enjoyed the Sultan's exclusive Royal Warrant. The case back bears the engraved Asprey insignia, a shared feature among timepieces acquired through Asprey on His Majesty's behalf. It's unsurprising that a gift of such magnitude, presented by the Sultan himself, was consistently viewed as the ultimate prize, undoubtedly ranking amongst not only one of the most sought-after Daytona in the world but watches of all time.
