The final evolution of the triple calendar chronograph from Rolex, named after the Olympic skier. This reference 6236 is the most sophisticated vintage Rolex complication housed in an Oyster case.

The Rolex Dato-Compax 'Killy' reference 6236 represents the final evolution of the brand's triple calendar chronograph. Achieving $630,000 at Christie's Geneva in 2022, this stainless steel model is the most sophisticated vintage Rolex complication housed in an Oyster case. Named after the Olympic skier, it sits within a corpus of 71 documented Rolex results. While the brand record remains $17,752,500 for a 2017 'Paul Newman' Daytona, the 6236 highlights Rolex's historical technical complexity.
