Notes

Ref. 6036Chronograph antimagnetic with triple date.Produced from the mid-40's to the early 60's in few examples in 18K yellow or pink gold and very few in stainless steel, with different design of dial and shape of hands with 4 different references: - in the mid 40's, Ref. 4767 - from 1948 to 1951, Ref. 5036. - from 1951 to 1955, Ref. 6036 so-called by collectors "Killy watch" (world ski champion in the 1960's). This reference was produced in 170 examples in yellow gold, 144 examples in pink gold and very few in stainless steel. - from 1958 to 1962, Ref. 6236. The main difference between this one and the three other references consists in the three-body case as opposed to two-body.Similar chronographs are publi-shed in "Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches", by Osvaldo Patrizzi, Guido Mondani, Edi-tore, Genova 2001, pp. 272-274-275-276-277 and 486.
