The Rolex Ref. 6234 from the 1950s is a highly desirable and increasingly scarce stainless steel chronograph, representing one of the most important pre-Daytona models in the brand’s history. It features a three-part water-resistant case with screw-back, screw-down crown and rounded pump pushers, matched with its original stainless steel Oyster bracelet for a complete and authentic vintage set.

The argenté dial is an uncommon and particularly attractive execution, showcasing a detailed multi-scale layout that adds depth, functionality and unmistakable mid-century charm. Well preserved and mechanically sound, this Ref. 6234 stands as a prime example of early Rolex chronograph design and remains one of the most collectible steel references of the era.
