6238 Black Dial – the Dark Lord

When it comes to these amazing Rolex Pre-Daytona chronographs, my heart does always stop beating immediately, especially when having one of these extraordinary and rare black dial examples in my hands. The one example that I am extremely honoured to offer to you is a really great specimen of these black dial 6238 Pre-Daytonas. It is in overall excellent condition. The case is still super strong with fat lugs and superb proportions! The serial is a 1.22 which dates this example on 1965 and it comes as well with a correct 7205/71 bracelet which is dated on 3/65. The movement has the US import mark ROW. The dial of this example is simply magnificent. The deep black color with its second series silver printing gives this timepiece so much of a breathtaking presence. The silver printing did take over the years a very nice warm creamy patina. The lume plot at 3 o’clock got off over the last 50 years. This timepiece is a real feast to the eyes and is among the collector’s dream watches and an extremely sought after timepiece and certainly a great trophy for every distinguished gentleman collector.
