Rolex Oyster Royal Precision Ref. 6426 steel vintage wristwatch, dated 1962
A stainless steel manually wound centre seconds wristwatch with original Rolex Oyster bracelet
Reference 6426 is a handsome, manually wound, Rolex model with a 35mm diameter case. This example of the model has a silvered dial with a silk matte finish and there are raised indexes which have gilded surfaces to match the Alpha-shaped hands. The watch is fitted with its original, detachable, satin finished, stainless steel riveted link bracelet which has polished finished caps to the sides.
