Rolex Vintage Oyster 6480 (1954)

In 1926, the original Oyster was launched by Rolex. This was the first waterproof watch and was even worn by Mercedes Gleitze when she swam across the English Channel. The Oyster name comes from an oyster, sealed keeping the bivalves closed keeping ocean water in. Of course, for a Rolex Oyster, the opposite is the goal, sealing the movement keeping water and dust out.

Vintage Rolex Oyster Precision, ref. 6480, in stainless steel with steel bracelet. Produced in 1954 this watch has the Oyster crown system.
Very early and rare model with beautifully aged, original dial.
