1975 Rolex Oyster Precision (Ref. 6427) Silver Dial

The “Precision” designation on the dial signified Rolex’s line of more understated and economical, manually wound timepieces—watches powered by robust in-house movements that prioritized reliability and elegant simplicity. Among them, the ref. 6427 stands out as the lesser-known no-date counterpart to the ref. 6694, and despite its remarkably long production run from the 1950s through the 1970s, it was produced in comparatively very small numbers. The result is a quietly rare and refined Oyster Precision: a slim, gentlemanly watch with timeless proportions, ideal for daily wear and well-suited to any setting.

The thick case is in excellent overall condition, featuring symmetrical lugs that retain factory dimensions and gentle signs of use. The engine-turned stainless steel bezel exhibits light signs of use and is in wonderful overall condition. The original Rolex 7835 folded-link Oyster bracelet retains 13 links that show light stretch and will fit up to a 7 1/2-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original silver sunburst dial is in exceptional condition, with no damage and only nominal age present. The tritium lume plots have achieved a mostly creamy patina, with a few of the plots presenting a darker patina, and show only minor degradation in the 11 o'clock plot when inspected under UV light. The original tritium hands match the creamy patina of the dial lume perfectly with no degradation present.
