Lot Essay

Gifted this timepiece from the original owner, the present Rolex watch has remained the current owner's possession for many decades.

Reference 6239
Preceding the Cosmograph Daytona family of chronograph watches from Rolex, the Oyster chronograph reference 6234 effortlessly combines a sportiness with elegance. Much of this is that the timing scales, such as the present watch's tachymeter and telemeter are utilized on the dial rather than on the bezel, creating the classic Oyster look.

Produced in 14k gold, 18k gold, and stainless steel, the majority of reference 6234 were cased in steel, fitting for a sports model. Most of these "Pre-Daytona" watches feature white dials but the present watch is further enhanced and rarified with its black gilt dial with matching gold and luminous dagger hour markers and alpha hands.
