, This timepiece has a very sporty appeal, particularly because of the bright blue telemeter scale and the dart indexes on the uniformly aged chronograph dia. Despite its age the steel case with matching bracelet is in excellent, well-looked after condition. Reference 6234 was produced between 1955 and 1961. It is regarded as forerunner of the Cosmograph Daytona model - the shape of its case is strongly influenced by it.
