If you're in the market for an introductory vintage Rolex watch, then the Oyster Perpetual Precision reference 6426 is a perfect choice. Constructed out of stainless steel, the Oyster Perpetual price is highly obtainable for beginner and seasoned Rolex collectors alike.
At 34mm, the Oyster case made of stainless steel and is outfitted with a smooth bezel and Rolex stamped waterproof screw-down crown
The beautiful and clean silver dial is set with baton hour markers with a central sweeping hand. Notoriously waterproof, the Oyster case was once capable of withstanding depths of up to 100 meters when this reference first came to market.
This men’s dress watch is full of vintage character and an instant conversation starter with a manual winding Rolex 1215 17-jewel movement.
This watch has a few odd ball parts worth mentioning, while the case between the lugs is stamped 6426 the case back is stamped 6427 and 2nd quarter of 1962. The actual serial and use of a 1215 movement tells us this was a replacement part sourced at some time by a previous owner, nothing to be overly worried about as all parts are original Rolex.
The finishing touch on this beautiful vintage Rolex has to be the stainless steel Ref 7205 rivet bracelet. It really ties the whole watch together to give you an amazing timepiece.
Freshly cleaned and serviced.
