Rolex Chronograph "Black Dial" with Racing Pedigree

Ref. 6238: What a difference a dial makes! This black dial 6238 is a truly rare delight. Produced in significantly smaller numbers than the usual silver dial, this watch is a real looker. This particular example was owned by Harvey "Pinhead" Corley, the pit crew chief for the "Raceway Engineering" team that raced a Lola T70 in the Can-Am series. It is dated 1966, which coincides with them winning two races and taking 3rd place in another. Comes with original Rolex service papers from 1997.
