Notes

The reference 6234 appeared in th eRolex catalogue until 1963 and was first introduced in 1955, considered to be one of the rarest chronograph among the Rolex Anti-Magnetic family. Both references 6034 and 6234 are highly desirable in the collector community, considered precursors to the Cosmograph Daytona whose case shape they influenced. The majority were cased in stainless steel cases and an extremely rare number produced in yellow gold. Cased in 14k yellow gold, the present model was made for the American market. It s a rare and superb example of Anti-Magnetic for all Rolex collectors. La rare référence 6234 est disponible au catalogue Rolex jusqu'en 1963, elle fut présentée la première fois en 1955.
