Lot Essay

The present watch is an exceedingly rare version of reference 6234 as it features the sought after black dial fitted with the small subsidiary dials.

Examples with the large subsidiary dials are described and illustrated in I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 254-277, however no example of reference 6234 with black dial is shown in literature.
