The present wristwatch is a well-preserved representative of the three-body chronograph reference 6234. It is distinguished by its unrestored dial, impressively demonstrated by the charismatic beige patina and its very slight “spider” lines defined by the crisscrossing of light cracks throughout its entire surface.
Preceding the Cosmograph Daytona family of watches, the Oyster chronograph reference 6234 is one of Rolex's most sought-after watches, effortlessly combining a sporty look with elegant flair.
Reference 6234
Reference 6234 was introduced into the market in 1955 and remained in production until 1961. Available in stainless steel of 2250 pieces, only 36 pieces in 18K gold and 108 pieces in 14K gold, it was fitted with the "non-Oyster" or "non-screw down" chronograph buttons. Furthermore, the dials featured the designations “Anti-Magnetic, which emphasize the precision and accuracy of the watch.
Different examples of reference 6234 are illustrated in: 100 Superlative Rolex Watches, John Goldberger, pp. 120-127, and in: I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 254-276.
