Description
The Rolex Chronograph reference 6238 is a so-called “Pre Daytona”, and has a simple elegance that was lost to the more sporty appearance of the Daytona models. This chronograph is totally original and its production dates to 1964. The rare gray dial, like the watch, is versatile enough to be worn with everything from a suit to shorts and a tee shirt.

Never polished original stainless steel case measures 37mm diameter by 13.5mm thick. Crystal is plastic. Screw down crown is original and is operating smoothly. Round pump style chronograph pushers are original and are operating perfectly. Case condition is mint+.

Original and rare gray dial with radial brush finish and applied hour markers.

Original movement is the manual winding Rolex Caliber 72B with 17 jewels and column wheel construction. Movement is pristine and running. All chronograph functions return to their respective zero positions perfectly. Inside case back is stamped ‘6238’. Serial number 1101XXX dates production of the watch to 1964.

Rolex riveted Oyster bracelet with 2 65 date code which suggests that the bracelet is original to the watch, and like the watch, is in New Old Stock condition.
