This particular 6263 was gifted from the Sultan of Oman to the BOAC (now British Airways) airplane pilot in 1974. It is apparently an earlier serial number (3.04 million versus 3.4 million) than what has been observed previously and there is no Asprey signature on the back of the case. What makes this story interesting is that the pilot kept everything. Rolexcopiesclone - Rolex copies cheap for sale, Rolex Daytona clone watches, Rolex replica watches for men and women.
He received this watch from the Sultan on a flight from Muscat to Rome and then flew to London where, upon arrival, he declared the watch and paid the customs duties of 10 pounds, big lol. He kept the declaration and receipt, eyes bulging out emoji. This rare specimen, in fact, has just about everything including the hangtag, box, outer box, previously mentioned import documents and original blank paperwork.
The Sultan was not in the habit of stamping his Rolex warranties. Not to make light of such an epic watch, set and well documented provenance, but it is pretty mind blowing that the pilot kept all these things and looking forward to seeing this one at auction.Estimate CHF 320,000 – 420,000.
