Whether it be classic or vintage models, Rolex remains one of the foremost names in watches due to its sheer elegance and durability. Now a rare Rolex Pre-Daytona 6238 14k Yellow Gold watch has hit the market and it’s as nice as it sounds.

The striking 36 mm timepiece was crafted in 1966 and is only one of 250 produced. Other details beyond the 14k yellow gold construction include three sub-dials, a Valjoux 72B movement, a tachymeter scale and baton markers. Additionally, the watch features a minimal face that reads “Rolex Chronograph.” Finishing off the manual-winding chronograph is a 14k yellow gold jubilee ‘coffee bean’ bracelet.

Take a peek at the vintage watch in the gallery above. The Rolex Pre-Daytona 6238 14k Yellow Gold is available now online at Amsterdam Vintage Watches for €148,000 EUR (about $165,915 USD).
