Lot Essay

Reference 6234 is, technically speaking, a "pre-pre-Daytona" as the imminent predecessor of reference 6238 which was the last Oyster Chronograph before the Cosmograph and Daytona era begun. Reference 6234 was predominantly finished in stainless steel as intended for use in either scientific or sporting environment.

Different examples of reference 6234 are illustrated in 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, pp. 120-127, and in I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 254-276.
