This is truly the genesis for the entire Rolex brand. The very first Rolex models were called ‘Oysters’ which was owed to their innovative three part case that all screwed into each-other. This watch represents an evolution of that, when these were still semi-bubble back watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe piece that we have here, an \u003cem\u003eOyster Precision\u003c\/em\u003e, is a descendant of those early watches, utilizing a water-resistant \u003cem\u003eOyster\u003c\/em\u003e case, a manually-wound movement, and nothing else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating to circa 1957, this 'mid size' example is offered in honest overall condition, with a nice symmetrical case, a correct smooth steel bezel, and a screw-down crown. The silver dial within has developed an intense and largely uniform orange patina from age, with darkened indices and a matching blued-steel handset. Flip this piece over and there is an always alluring caseback engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd don't let the case size fool you, these 'midsize' Rolex models are chronically slept on and present great value next to its more well-known siblings, while truly embodying the essence of Rolex.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67723217764669,"sku":"OC3202","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3741\/files\/ROLEX_OYSTER_CHRONO_SMALL_WEB_1.jpg?v=1792440197","url":"https:\/\/oliverandclarke.com\/products\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-ref-3767-silver-tangerine-patina-dial","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
