Vintage Rolex Oyster Royal Precision Rare Royal Dial

Vintage Rolex Oyster Royal Precision Rare Royal Dial | Running | Original Bracelet | Genuine Rolex Spares (Packaged) | Private Sale Sold As Is

A quietly iconic piece from Rolexs mid-century lineup, this Oyster Royal Precision offers timeless design, mechanical integrity, and restoration potential.

The rare Royal dial designation, engraved case back, and original bracelet make it a compelling acquisition for collectors who value authenticity and heritage.

The Royal name was reserved for select manual-wind models, used sparingly to denote exceptional craftsmanship.

Today, its a collectors cue: rare, refined, and increasingly sought after.

Based on the dial, case style, and matching spare parts, this watch almost certainly houses a Rolex Calibre 1210 or 1220manual-wind movements known for:

1. Slim architecture and elegant proportions
2. Reliable engineering and smooth winding
3. Long-term serviceability and tactile charm
4. Encased in the patented Oyster case, it offers water resistance and structural integrity. The original steel bracelet features a signed clasp and retains its vintage character.
