Preserved in a fine state of preservation, this Rolex chronograph reference 6238 was the last Rolex chronograph to feature a smooth bezel with the tachymeter scale printed on the dial. The reference was made in stainless steel or 14k and 18k gold. It was the European and Asian markets that were presented with the 18k gold variety and America with the 14k gold.

This example is presented in excellent overall condition with strong definition of the lugs, crisp numbers between the lugs, sharp bezel and a very appealing dial.
