Paul Newman Panda · Mk 2 (Serif)
Cosmograph Daytona Ghost 6263 — Paul Newman Panda · Mk 2 (Serif)
Final panda type with sharp serifs on “Rolex”, “Oyster” and “Cosmograph”; the middle bar of the “E” in Rolex is longer than on Mk 1.5. Made from leftover 6262/6264 dials with “Daytona” erased and the top text reprinted, so a faint “ghost” of the old print can show. Last batches around 2.92 and 3.048 million.
