Clean. Classic. Unpretentious.
The Rolex Oyster Precision ref. 6426 is the archetype of timeless Rolex design — an understated everyday watch that carries all of Rolex’s legendary engineering in the simplest, purest form.

This example, with serial 2270XXX, dates to the late 1960s and presents a beautifully balanced silver/grey dial with crisp printing and elegant applied markers.
