Specialist note

Reference 6034 was introduced to the market in the early 1950s.

The present watch is an attractive example of reference 6034, with nicely defined lugs, sharp edges to the bezel and crisp referene and serial numbers. The watch is in well-preserved original condition.

Different versions of the model are described and illustrated in I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 230-251 and in 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, pp. 114-117.
