Offered between 1955 and 1960, the reference 6234 was one of the forerunners of the Daytona collection and as such is known by the nickname 'Pre-Daytona'. With such a short period of production the 6234 is a highly prized watch with limited availability. It is believed that approximately only 2300 examples were released in steel and naturally far less in gold. The current example features an attractively aged dial with a blue tachymetre and red telemetre scale.
In 1960 Rolex replaced the 6234 with the 6238 which also shares the nickname of 'Pre-Daytona'.
