This ‘Jean-Klaude Killy’ (inherited the nickname from its sibling 6236) Rolex is one of the rarest complicated references produced by this brand. This honest example shows a lot of character and we are glad that in the past 80+ years no one dedided to ‘work’ on the dial. Instead, we believe the aged dial adds a lot of aestehtic value, especially with this particular reference.
