Rolex: Does Anyone Recognize this Animal
After my Father passed I found this watch in his dresser drawer. I never saw him wear it and I have never seen this model. Does anyone recognize this watch? Can anyone tell me about this watch? Thank you!

Appears to be impersonating a Rolex 6236. Sorry to hear about your father. I would treasure my father’s belongings regardless.

Nice find. Most likely a 6036 from the 50s also known as the Jean-Claude Killy. One of the most complicated watches Rolex ever made. Nice example.
Even has an oval link jubilee bracelet, there's one of those on ebay for 2700 right now. :) |

Presumably a Valjoux 72c movement (or 73, which is equivalent). If so, it's a solid movement used in a wide range of triple-calendar chronographs by many Swiss brands.

It’s in fantastic shape! I found a few others online, this dial looks to be the best by far. What an awesome inheritance.

Value aside, that Rolex model is really cool!
It’s a good reminder that the brand has released watches outside of Datejusts, Subs, Explorers, etc. Edit: just reviewed that link with the great information about the watch family...yep, those are some big auction numbers. |

Nice Dato-Compax, I hope everything checks out!
I will go for a 6236 with the dial without the seconds over the marker. Can't tell if repainted, normally above the coronet the date should be 1 not 31, but could be a variation... Screen Shot 2021-01-16 at 6.54.14 PM.jpg |

I hate when people start interesting threads and then ghost. His past posts seem suspicious and I’m going to guess that this one is just toying with us.
