Literature For another example of reference 6234 in stainless steel , please see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger , page 86 .
This Pre-Daytona reference 6234 is a very fine example and still retaining original factory finishes . Preserved in excellent condition , the outer tracks are nicely raised and the dial has aged beautifully . The luminous , which is completely original , has also aged to a nice warm orange colour . Overall , it is a wonderful and correct example which is becoming increasingly rare these days .
