Classic tour Rolex Ref.6269 "Le Hibou Grand-Duc" watch
Today, Rolex Daytona precious metal gem-set watches are nothing new, but in the 1980s, sports watches with this configuration were rare and very pioneering. If you like this kind of watch, I believe you are no stranger to the Ref. 6269 'Le Hibou Grand-Duc' watch. This watch is specially designed for the French market, and the case back is engraved with the French import symbol and the Rolex logo. The name of the watch 'Le Hibou Grand-Duc' (Owl Grand Duke) is also inspired by the image of the French import symbol.replica watches australia
Made of gold, the watch was 37mm in diameter, slightly larger by the standards of the time. In addition to the 44 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the bezel, the dial is set with an additional 240 diamonds, which shine brightly. Even when making such precious watches, Rolex still attaches great importance to legibility. So, the sub-dials remain as they are and are embellished with blue sapphire crystals that act as hour markers. It is this firm belief in the uncompromising approach to making diamond-encrusted sports watches that has earned Rolex its impressive and prestigious reputation in the field. The Ref.6269 "Le Hibou Grand-Duc" watch is equipped with Caliber 727 movement (based on Valjoux 72), limited production of only 30 pieces, extremely rare.replica watches
In 2018, this watch was unveiled at the "Daytona Ultimatum" theme auction of Phillips in Geneva. Considering the rarity and preciousness, the transaction price is not very high. The reason may be related to gem inlays. The popularity of these watches seems to be waning gradually, the trend is slow, but the price changes are much faster. However, with the evolution and development of the antique watch market in the past few years, if it is auctioned again today, it is likely to achieve a higher transaction price, especially if the watch is from a brand like Rolex.
