The Rolex Oyster Precision remains one of the brand's most refined and "no frills" designs to this day. Going back several decades it is without a doubt one of Rolex' most beautiful, yet simple creations. Anyone with an average-sized wrist will find that the 34mm vintage case on the early references are as elegant on bracelet as they are strap.

This particular ref. 6426, circa 1972 remains in remarkable vintage condition. It boasts a perfectly aged dial with all of its tritium plots present, full and aged to a warm patina, matching the hands. The case remains extremely sharp with thick, evenly proportioned lugs. It retains its correct folded link bracelet that remains extremely tight and shows a strong coronet on its clasp. For any collector looking for a highly charming and simple Rolex, this example is a true survivor. Its manual-winding movement also allows this model to be thinner at just 8mm so it is equally well-suited for being dressed up on leather.
