During this period reference 6234 was made in a variety of case metals and dials ranging from those with a matte or lacquer finish, to various subsidiary register sizes, and even contrasting tachometer/telemeter color combinations. These variations were used to gauge the market’s tastes for chronograph wristwatches.;Nevertheless, one feature the dials did have in common was a tachymeter scale on the outer track, and a telemeter scale printed in the inner track.;The present lot is part of the last models made before production ceased.
