Production of reference 6234 was extremely limited. Launched in 1955, the model displayed many similar features to the very first Daytona, such as the shape of the case and pump pushers. The reference ceased production after approximately six years of manufacture, replaced by reference 6238.
This reference 6234 is an incredibly well-preserved example. The movement bridge is stamped "ROW", indicating export to the American market. It is most notably fitted with a black dial that displays only minor signs of aging, which is quite remarkable considering the age of the timepiece. The numerals and hands are gilded, providing a contrasting appearance. Furthermore, the outside case back is engraved "STAINLESS STEEL", which can be seen on cases delivered to the United States. Over-polishing would have dulled the finishes of the case, yet this example retains its crisp edges and robust proportions.
