The Chronograph 4768 has a round case with teardrop lugs, which is a deviation from the usual Oyster case seen in other Rolex models. In addition, the Rolex Chronograph 4768 has a Caliber 72c and manual winding movement.

Rolex Chronograph 5036

The Rolex Chronograph 5036 was produced between 1948 and 1951 and had a dual-part case. The Chronograph 5036 was made in yellow gold, pink gold, and perhaps stainless steel.
