1972 Rolex Oyster Precision 6426

The Watch

This 1972 Rolex Oyster Precision Reference 6426 features a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case, and is fitted with a matt black dial that may have been the subject of restorative work. Powered by a Rolex manual winding movement, the Oyster Precision embodies a simplicity not found in today's Rolex range, and makes for one of the most affordable routes into the ownership of a watch by one of the world's most eminent watchmakers.

The Watchmaker

Founded in 1905, Rolex has established itself as one of the world's most prestigious and recognisable watch manufacturers. The Oyster case, introduced in 1926, revolutionised the industry as one of the first waterproof wristwatch cases - becoming a cornerstone of Rolex's reputation for durability and innovation. The Oyster Precision collection is particularly admired amongst enthusiasts for its relative affordability, manually wound movements, and clean, uncluttered design.

Authenticity, Condition, and Guarantees

All items have been inspected for authenticity, and are guaranteed as such. As this is a pre-owned watch, signs of wear consistent with age and previous use should be expected. Buyers of watches should also recognise that maintenance and treatment appropriate to the watch in question are required to protect time-keeping and condition. There is a 6 month function guarantee for watches costing £1000 or more. Water resistance is not guaranteed; even watches originally waterproof may not be so, unless recently sealed and pressure-tested.
