Rolex 6426 oyster bracelet 1974

1974 Rolex Oyster Precision 6426 – Mint on Solid Oyster

A beautifully preserved example of the Rolex Oyster Precision 6426 from 1974. This reference represents one of the final expressions of Rolex’s manually wound Oyster line — watches that defined the brand’s precision and reliability before the full shift to automatic movements.

The 6426 features the 34mm stainless steel Oyster case, a hallmark of mid-century Rolex design. Its balanced proportions, smooth bezel, and clean dial layout give it a timeless versatility — equally at home as a daily wearer or as part of a vintage collection. Powered by the Rolex Calibre 1225, the movement is robust, simple to service, and known for decades of dependable performance.

This example remains in mint, collector-grade condition. The case is unpolished, retaining sharp factory lines and bevels. The original silver sunburst dial is clean and well preserved, with crisp applied hour markers and original hands. It sits on its solid stainless steel Oyster bracelet, with tight links and minimal stretch.
