It can either be considered the brand’s last classic chronograph or its first modern one.;Produced for a short period from the beginning of the 1960s to 1967, it was the last Rolex chronograph to feature a smooth bezel with a graduated tachymeter scale on the dial but also a model that paved the way to the reference 6239. The latter was the first Cosmograph Daytona ever released by Rolex, with which it shares certain design elements such as the crown, the pushers, case and indexes.;Collectors often refer to reference 6238 as the “Pre-Daytona”, as it is the immediate predecessor of reference 6239, the first Cosmograph Daytona ever released by Rolex.;The present reference 6238 is a very pleasing watch in overall excellent condition with a sharp bezel, strong definition to the lugs, crisp numbers in between the lugs and an unrestored sunburst silvered dial, which gives the watch a vivid modern appearance. The hands and luminous plots have turned a striking dark cream adding a touch of color to the monochrome dial. In addition, this watch is further accompanied by a beautiful Jubilee bracelet. Rarely seen on this reference, the Jubilee bracelet enhances the sporty chic aesthetic the “Pre Daytona” is famous for.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed;Accessories: Accompanied by two spare links.;Catalogue Essay;The Rolex Chronograph reference 6238 marks the end of an era, as it is Rolex last chronograph model to feature a smooth bezel with a printed tachymeter scale on the dial. Collectors often refer to reference 6238 as the “Pre-Daytona”, as it is the immediate predecessor of reference 6239, the first Cosmograph Daytona ever released by Rolex.;Whereas the European and Asian markets were presented with the 18K gold version examples like the present one, models cased in 14K gold were usually reserved for the North American market.;This sporty yet classic watch is more modern compared to earlier Rolex Chronograph watches. The silver sunburst dial also referred to as “cadran soleil argent” beautifully reflects the light for a very elegant and sophisticated look. The “T-SWISS-T” found at the dial’s lower edge by 6 o’clock indicates that Tritium was used for the luminous hands and hour markers.;This particular example is presented in overall excellent condition, displayed by the sharp bezel, strong definition of the lugs, crisp numbers in between the lugs and unrestored dial. The watch comes from the family of the original owner and has spent most of his life safely preserved in a bank vault. Consequently, it is preserved in excellent overall condition.;This “Pre-Daytona” is a fine example of a reference 6238, with a very elegant chic design, easily wearable on any occasion and is a great value for the savvy collector.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed;Literature: The only other known example of a yellow gold reference 6238 with black glossy dial is illustrated in 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger pages 134-135;Catalogue Essay;Reference 6238 is the very last chronograph wristwatch manufactured by Rolex with a flat bezel. Its nickname “Pre Daytona” references the fact that it is the direct predecessor of one of the brand’s icons: the Daytona. While the latter features the tachymeter scale on the bezel, reference 6238 features the scale on the dial. Fitted with a manually wound caliber 72B with a Valjoux base, this chronograph was a tool watch designed to calculate speed.;As a sport watch, the majority was manufactured in steel with silvered dials, very few were cased in gold and the black dials were even rarer. The present lot, with its 14k yellow gold case, specially made for the American market and its black dial can be considered an exceptional example of a very small series. However, what will make any savvy collector’s head spin is the stunning black glossy galvanic dial. Whereas the extremely rare reference 6238 in yellow gold features a black grené dial, the elusive unicorn is the 6238 in 14k yellow gold with glossy dial and only one other 6238 in yellow gold is known to exist with a glossy dial. And as if destiny wanted to play even more with the watch aficionado’s heart, this beauty is in superb condition the case is sharp and one can tell from the amount of oxidation displayed on it that this watch has been kept away from reach for many decades. The fantastic glossy black dial is breathtaking. At 6 o’clock the T SWISS T indication is consistent with the age of the watch and the introduction of Tritium to replace radium for the luminous material.;This amazingly rare timepiece will surely tick all the boxes of what makes a grail watch: sublime design, extreme rarity and exceptional overall condition.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed;Literature: Similar examples of this reference are illustrated in I Cronografi Rolex La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pg. 278-291, as well as 100 Superlative Rolex Watches, John Goldberger, pg. 128-137;Catalogue Essay;The reference 6238 is undoubtedly a milestone in Rolex's chronograph history. Launched in 1960, it is the last model to feature a plain bezel and an inner tachymeter scale. It can also be described as Rolex’s first modern chronograph, and one that would pave the way to reference 6239, the first Cosmograph Daytona ever released by Rolex. Thus the nickname “Pre-Daytona” given by collectors to reference 6238.;Interestingly even though it is called the Pre-Daytona, the reference 6238 was produced in parallel to reference 6239 with which they share certain design elements such as the crown, the pushers, case and indexes. However, while the Cosmograph Daytona always featured a two tone dial with either black with silver subdials or vice versa, the reference 6238 was offered only with a monochrome dial. These small details make a massive difference for collectors making the Pre-Daytona a favorite amongst vintage Rolex aficionados and conoisseurs.;The matte black, or so-called “grené” finished dial, is particularly rare, as the majority of this reference was available with a silvered dial. The present dial is part of the second generation grené dials with silver printing. The “T-SWISS-T” found at the dial’s lower edge by 6 o’clock indicates that Tritium was used for the luminous hands and hour markers.;The present lot will please the discerning collector with its superb overall condition and elegant nonchalant looks, not to mention that this reference was on James Bond's (played by George Lazenby) wrist in the 1969 film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
