Retailer-signed 6263 examples carry the retailer's name printed below the Rolex coronet. The work was done locally — at Tiffany's New York, Asprey's London, Beyer's in Zurich, Cartier's various boutiques, Serpico y Laino's Caracas — not at Rolex Switzerland. Christie's has catalogued a Tiffany-signed 14k yellow gold 6263. The Sultan of Oman 6263 carries the Asprey signature alongside the Omani national crest, and one example sold for USD 864,521 at Christie's Daytona Lesson One, Geneva, on 10 November 2013. | Retailer-signed 6263 examples carry the retailer's name printed below the Rolex coronet.
