Description
It’s not just that a 6238 with a black dial is very rare and highly collectable, regardless of the case metal. It’s not the fact that a gold 6238 is practically impossible to find. It’s the gestalt of this watch: the fact that it is among the most beautiful wristwatches we have ever seen, combined with its rarity, and how sublime the design and condition of the original black dial is.
Original 14k gold case with smooth bezel, plastic crystal, pump style chronograph pushers and screw down crown all working perfectly. Inside case back has ‘6238’ along with the 14K hallmark. Serial number 1697XXX dates production to 1967.
Original RARE black dial with gold/gild print, sunken subdials for constant seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hour chronograph totalizers, applied golden hour markers and outer tachometer scale. Original golden baton hands.
Original Rolex manual winding Caliber 722 with 17 jewels, adjusted in 3 positions, with column wheel construction and in pristine, running condition.
Bracelet is 14k Rolex USA stretch riveted Oyster with personalized “JGW” engraving in clasp.
