Rolex Oyster Precision Ref. 6424 steel vintage wristwatch, circa 1966

A large sized stainless steel manually wound centre seconds wristwatch

Measuring 36mm in diameter, this is one of the largest of the vintage, time only, Rolex Oyster models. The very handsome silvered dial has lozenge shaped indexes at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock and are interspersed by tapered faceted indexes. Reference 6424 is similarly styled to the Ref. 6426, however the 6424 is considerably rarer and has a number of distinctive features. First, in size terms, not only does the 6424 have a large case diameter of 36mm, but the overall length (including lugs) measures 43mm, this compares to the 41.5mm of the 6426 reference. Unlike the ref. 6426, the 6424’s lugs are un-pierced to the outside of the case, leaving an unbroken sweep to the polished case sides and are designed to take a 20mm wide strap. The larger case back of the 6424 is also shaped differently with a central satin finished circle surrounded by a broad polished chamfer – this compares to the flat polished back of the 6426.  And finally, the lug gauge is a larger 20mm width.
