Lot Essay

Accompanied by a Rolex presentation box and outer packaging.

Reference 6240 was the first "Oyster Cosmograph" model produced by Rolex, characterized by screw down chronograph buttons. It was replaced by the references 6263 and 6265. The present watch is a very attractive example of this model, and features warm "crème brûlé" subsidiary dials.

Reference 6240 is described and illustrated in Rolex Daytona - a legend is born by Carlo Pergola, Stefano Mazzariol, and Giovanni Dosso, pages 76-92, and in 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, page 239.
