Price Upon Request

The reference 6234, known as the “Pre-Daytona,” is among the most important and desirable vintage Rolex chronographs. Produced between 1955 and 1961 in a total of around 3,000 pieces, it represents the bridge between early Oyster chronographs and the later Daytona models, combining sporting character with understated elegance.
This stainless-steel example shows and impressively rare black lacquered gilt dial, beautifully glossy, with both tachymeter and telemeter scales that have aged to a warm golden tone. The alpha hands and luminous hour markers retain their correct tritium, confirmed by the “T SWISS T” signature at six o’clock.
Examples of the reference 6234 with this highly sought-after black dial are exceedingly scarce, making this a truly exceptional and collectible piece of Rolex chronograph history.
