Usually the summer means taking a break from watches as the biggest auctions in May are over.
However we have found a beautiful early Rolex chronograph in pink gold coming up for auction in July that you should take a closer look at.
It is a Rolex reference 6034.
This watch is a monobloc anti-magnetic chronograph in pink gold from 1954 – with still the original lume in-tact on the dial.
The dial is near perfect (judging from the pictures – we have not seen the watch in person) and according to the auction house who is selling it, the watch has never been serviced (there are no service markings on the caseback).
The watch has seen minimal polishing as the hallmarks are present on the back of the watch and on the lugs and remain completely in-tact. The watch remains overall in very good condition.
While everyone likes to talk about Daytona and pre -daytona – namely the 6234 or 6238 – the model here the 6034 monobloc rarely gets mentioned by collectors. Not much is known about these early chronograph Rolex – so I cannot add to this reference.
Except that it might worth looking at given its rare metal case (pink gold) and good condition. At 36mm it is extremely wearable even in by present standards. T
he watch is seems very original (dial excellent condition, lume original, case largely unpolished). Even the winding crown with the ‘plus’ sign is original and correct for the period and watch.
The estimate for this rare chronograph is €60-80’ooo which reflects its outstanding condition and originality. For more information on this rare Rolex – contact Boule Auctions in France.
