Rolex Chronograph 3834

The Reference 3834 is a classic example of a mid-century dress chronograph, produced by Rolex in the 1940s. Its technical specification is a two-register chronograph, typically powered by the Valjoux 23 manual-wind movement. The case, found in both steel and gold, measures approximately 33mm in diameter and features a non-Oyster snap-on back with pump pushers. The dials are often silvered and feature a simple tachymeter scale. The significance of the Ref. 3834 is its role as a representative example of Rolex’s standard, elegant chronograph offerings from the pre-Oyster chronograph era.
