Rolex Oyster 6426 'Linen'

Rolex Oyster 6426 'Linen'

It’s always a pleasure to offer Rolex watches that are loved by the masses, but we must confess that it doesn’t excite us sometimes. Therefore, it’s refreshing when we see watches like this Oyster 6426, which offers many interesting design changes and transitions. The manual wind movements were a large part of Rolex history, named the ‘’Precision’’ line and therefore wears thinner than a typical Rolex watch with an automatic movement.

The 6426 is the perfect example of the timelessness of a simple, yet elegant design. There are many different variations and details, because the 6426 is produced from the late 1950s throughout the 1970s. Over this time, Rolex made so many changes: different lume, bracelet styles, dials and movements. This particular example features a beautiful ‘Linen’ dial, which is one of our favourites at Roia. 

It becomes quite hard to find well-preserved watches from this period, but the condition of this Rolex Oyster 6426 is beautiful. The linen dial shows no spots, and the lume on the hands and hour markers are beautifully aged and still in tact. The case is thick, and the star of the show is the beautifully tapered folded Oyster bracelet, which is quite hard to find in a good condition.

The watch is fully serviced by our watchmakers, and comes with a 1-year warranty!
