A fantastic all original example of this 1959 Rolex 6422 Oyster Precision dial with beautifully preserved honeycomb dial with gilt arrow markers and gorgeous lume colour.

The dial has aged to a beautiful cream colour. The case is used with light wearing marks but shows thickness, it has not been heavily polished judging by the lug hole positions.

The 6426 was introduced in the early 1950s and is similar it's predecessor the reference 6094 with removable bezel and screw down oyster crown.

The cream honycomb is particulary interesting with thus beautiful patina forming, similar in style to  the early Explorer or Turn-O-graphs.

This is a rare and beautiful Rolex Precision which you cannot stop staring at when wearing. They seldom come in this condition.

Comes paired with a leather honey calf.
