Rolex Chronograph 6232

Reference 6232 is an exceptionally rare ‘Pre-Daytona’ Oyster Chronograph produced for a very short period around 1962. It is typically found in 18k gold (often pink) and features a unique combination of a snap-on case back (non-Oyster) with pump pushers. It is powered by the Valjoux 72 manual-wind movement. Its dial features a simple tachymeter scale, distinguishing it from the multi-scale 6234. The significance of the 6232 lies in its extreme rarity and its status as a little-understood transitional model bridging other, more common references.
