1959 Rolex Oyster Royal Precision (Ref. 6426)
Manual wind movements were a large part of Rolex history, named the "Precision" line, where the automatic movements received the "Perpetual" moniker. The Precision timepieces were created as more affordable options that retain in-house movements and charming details. The ref. 6426 was one of the longest-running Rolex models spanning from the 1950s to the 80s. The Rolex Oyster Royal Precision is a gentlemanly timepiece, both handsome and thin, perfect for daily wear and suitable for any occasion.
