    Description

    Rolex Rare Ref. 6034 Pre-Daytona Anti-Magnetic Oyster Chronograph, circa 1951
    Case: No. 847533, stainless steel, screw back, "Super-Oyster" original crown, 36 mm, inclined bezel, curved lugs
    Dial: matte silver with inset gold box makers and numeral at twelve, red and blue telemeter and tachometer scales, luminous hour dots and gold "feuilles" hands, circular engine turned subsidiary dials for the minute and hour registers and constant seconds, gold center seconds hand
    Movement: caliber 72, rhodium plated, 17 jewels, straight line lever escapement, monometallic balance, shock absorber, self-compensating Breguet spring, index regulator

    Signed: all elements signed Rolex

    Note: The Ref. 4537 was the predecessor of the Ref. 6034 and both of these early models were fitted with the "Super Oyster" or "Phantom Crown". This winding crown was an attempt by Rolex to create a waterproof crown which did not need to be screwed down to the case. The system worked but the "Super Oyster" crowns were phased out after approximately five years since the inner rubber seal would tend to deteriorate. Model 6034 with original "Super Oyster" crowns are very rare since most were replaced during servicing with the more reliable Oyster screw-down crown version.
