This particular example importantly has an unrestored panda dial and original lightweight bracelet. This model, the 6265, was produced at the same time as the 6263, but with the outer movable bezel in stainless steel. With low numbers produced in the early days of sponsorship of the Daytona race track in 1962, the rarity of these watches only helps its value. The association with actor and racing driver Paul Newman also undoubtedly encouraged the value of these early Daytona examples; Paul Newmans personal Daytona made a record breaking $15 million. No doubt the honest originality of this Watch will see it achieve a good price.
