Rolex - Oyster Precision - No reserve price - 6426 - Men - 1969

Please note: this is a customised watch, meaning it may include components that differ from the original factory specifications. Customisation can vary widely, so we highlight the following possibilities for full transparency: Aftermarket parts The watch may include third-party components (such as bezels, dials, hands, crystals or gem settings) that are not produced by the brand owner. These parts are often added for aesthetic reasons, but are not considered original by the manufacturer. Original parts from other models Some components (e.g. dials or bracelets) may have been sourced from other genuine watches by the same brand. While these parts are authentic, they were not originally fitted to this particular model or reference, which may affect collectability or eligibility for manufacturer service. Non-original parts In some cases, customised watches may include parts that are neither original nor manufactured by the brand. These components can affect the watch’s value. We ask sellers to clearly mention such elements in their object description. We encourage all bidders to carefully review the photos and description before placing a bid. Keep in mind: customised watches may not be eligible for official service or warranty from the brand. All bids should be placed with full awareness of the customisation status described above. We offer for sale a fascinating vintage Rolex Oyster Precision, a timepiece with an unerring character that perfectly represents the elegance, watchmaking tradition and minimalist design of the Rolex house. This specimen is distinguished by its beautiful black dial with a 3-6-9 Explorer-style configuration, particularly appreciated by vintage watch enthusiasts for its sporty, balanced and instantly recognizable aesthetics. The watch preserves the charm typical of vintage timepieces, with a combination of aesthetic details that give personality and character to every element. DIAL AND AESTHETIC DETAILS The true protagonist of this watch is undoubtedly its splendid black dial, featuring a striking visual arrangement. The dial shows: * Black background with strong color contrast. * Applied Arabic numerals visually emphasized at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, in a light tone. * Characteristic triangular marker at 12 o’clock. * Extended hour markers, with a geometric and harmonious design. * Peripheral minute scale with well-defined subdivisions. * Rolex crown logo and ROLEX OYSTER lettering at the top. * PRECISION inscription at the bottom. * SWISS – T < 25 indication visible at 6 o’clock. * Central faceted steel hands, with an aesthetic perfectly coherent with the watch’s vintage style. * Central seconds hand. The particular arrangement of the markers and Arabic numerals recalls the aesthetic of the famous Explorer dials, without sacrificing the Oyster Precision model’s identity. The overall look gives the watch an elegant yet sporty appearance, making it extremely versatile and enjoyable to wear. CASE AND BRACELET The steel case features the classic lines of the Rolex Oyster family, with solid and balanced construction. The smooth polished bezel frames the dial, further enhancing depth and contrast. The traditional-shaped lugs integrate harmoniously with the three-link Oyster steel bracelet, creating an iconic design. The winding crown on the side, with a knurled profile, completes the timepiece’s classic character. The case and bracelet show normal signs of age and wear, consistent with the vintage nature of the watch. These details contribute to preserving its charm and telling the story of a timepiece that has stood the test of time. Photography constitutes an integral part of the description and allows careful assessment of the piece’s cosmetic condition. MOVEMENT – COMPLETE OVERHAUL The watch has undergone a full movement overhaul prior to sale. The intervention was performed to ensure proper mechanical operation and greater peace of mind for the future owner. For the buyer’s added protection, our shop provides a 12-month movement warranty, accompanying the watch at the time of purchase. This represents a significant added value, especially in the vintage watch sector, where the movement’s maintenance state is one of the key factors in choosing a timepiece.
