Specialist note
The present watch is an attractive and well-preserved example of the two-body reference 6034. The overall condition is further enhanced by the blue scales on the outer edge of the dial, giving it a very appealing aesthetic.
Ref. 6034
Two-body case reference 6034 was introduced to the international watch market in 1950. In production for only five years, it was equipped with the reliable manual-winding Valjoux 72 calibre and characterized by the word "Antimagnetic" on the dial, as well as having both a telemetre and a tachymetre scale. Equipped with smooth bezel and round chronograph buttons, the water-resistant watch with screw back has an elegant and sporty flair. Most examples of the reference were cased in stainless steel or in 18K gold and a small series in 14K gold.
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, John Goldberger, pp. 114-117.
