From the mid 1940s to the ’60s, Rolex produced 4 references of Oyster antimagnetic chronograph wristwatches with triple calendar and various dial designs in succession: Ref. 4767, Ref. 5036, Ref. 6036 and Ref. 6236. They became known as ‘Jean-Claude Killy’, after the French Olympic and World Cup skiing champion.

The reference 4767 was first introduced onto the market in 1947. Made in a very limited series, it was available in yellow and pink gold or stainless steel, with various dial layouts. This reference remains one of the most complicated watches ever made by Rolex, featuring triple calendar and chronograph functions.
