The reference 6238 is referred by collectors as the "Pre-Daytona", since it is immediately followed by the reference 6239 that marked the first Cosmograph Daytona ever released.
It is an important model in the history of Rolex as it marks the turning point in the transition from the older classical chronographs to modern examples. This is made clear stylistically through the case and dial design. The "Pre-Daytona" was only produced for a short period of time during the 60s, making them rare to come by today and as such highly sought after.
