Quite possibly one of the best preserved specimens of its kind, the present watch is a spectacular example and a sight to behold. An incredibly rare chronograph model, reference 6232 hardly ever appears on the market. In fact, research suggests that the present watch is one of only twelve watches in existence, destined for the French market. Moreover, the known examples are within a very tight serial range.

Reference 6232 stands out from the other Rolex chronographs from the same period by the fact that it does not have a 12-hour register, the standard for Rolex in the 1950s. Also, it does not use the caliber 72 like its siblings but a caliber A23. It is, in absolute terms, one of the rarest Rolex references of all times.
