Rolex Chronograph 6234 14k Gold
Production of gold examples of reference 6234 was extremely limited. Scholars theorise that, since the reference’s launch in 1955, approximately 2300 examples were produced in stainless steel while less than 150 examples were cased in 14k or 18k yellow gold. The reference ceased production after approximately six years of manufacture, replaced by reference 6238.
Reference 6234 was fitted with a variety of dials, ranging from those with a matte or lacquer finish, to various subsidiary register sizes, and different scales and color combinations. These variations were used to gauge the market’s tastes for chronograph wristwatches.
The present specimen features an exceptionally well-preserved silver dial with 3 registers, blue telemeter scale and black tachymeter scale, and a gorgeous 14k brick bracelet.
