Rolex 6424 A 36mm Handwound Jumbo Vintage watch Engine turned bezel

A reference that is so unknown, yet so important. But why? Well we are looking at a watch from a very hot period. The time where rolex had the watch game in their palms of their hands without really realizing it. They did do it, the made THE watch, The watch case. The oyster case. In the perfect size, the 36mm version.

What eventually became the base of all the iconic watches like the explorer, the 36mm precision quickly came to a silent death, making the 36mm case only available for automatic watches. Making this reference one of the rarest rolex watches out there, yet still affordable.
