Rolex Daytona Ref. 6263 F.A.P. Silver Sigma Dial

This is not your usual Rolex Daytona Reference 6263. This stainless steel example combines two of the most sought-after attributes a manual-wind Daytona can possess: the exceptionally rare silver Sigma dial and a documented military provenance. Issued to the pilots of the Fuerza Aerea del Peru (Peruvian Air Force) in the late 1970s, the caseback bears the unmistakable engraved signature "FUERZA AEREA DEL PERU" and the F.A.P. designation, elevating this piece from a rare collector's watch to a genuine historical artifact of military aviation.

Key Specifications

Collector's Note

The Sigma dial designation refers to the small Greek letter sigma printed adjacent to the gold content markers on the dial text, indicating that the applied indices and hands are crafted in solid gold rather than gold-plated metal. This detail, present only on a subset of Daytona dials from the mid-1970s, is highly prized by collectors for both its rarity and the quality it implies. The luminous sigma dial of this example is preserved in superb condition, as is the case. Military-issued Daytonas with documented provenance engravings represent some of the most compelling and historically significant examples in the entire Daytona collecting universe, and the F.A.P. designation is among the most recognized and respected of these military attributions.
