The present reference 6034 is a particularly attractive example of this legendary chronograph model, distinguished by the highly appealing warm chocolate-brown "tropical" dial.
Amongst the most coveted trophies within the Rolex Oyster chronograph family of references 6034 and 6234 must be considered examples featuring a black lacquer dial.
Such lacquered black dials must be regarded as the ultimate state-of-the-art in dial manufacturing as revealing a rich complexity of different layers applied to the metal base. In fact, outer scientific scales are not printed on the black lacquered background but underneath and shine through in negative relief. However to further enhance its sophistication "Rolex Oyster Chronograph Antimagnetic" is printed in an off-white tone onto the black background.
Furthermore, the present watch is fitted with a highly charismatically aged brown lacquer dial with gold printing. Amongst collectors, this type of dial is now called "tropical". This designation is derived from the colour of the lacquer which over the years has changed from black to a warm chocolate brown.
The present reference 6034 is a superbly appealing chronograph, one of the best-looking watches from the Golden Age of Rolex chronographs for daily wear.
For different versions of stainless steel references 6034 and 6234 with black lacquer dial see I Cronografi Rolex - La Leggenda, Pucci Papaleo Editore, pp. 240 & 241 and 256 & 257.
