The Rolex Oyster Precision Ref. 6422 is already a scarce and charming reference from the 1950s, but this particular example elevates itself into a true collector’s piece thanks to two standout features: its rare Chevron dial and its equally rare JB Champion large-logo Jubilee bracelet made specifically for the US market.

The 34mm stainless steel case houses the manual-wind Rolex Calibre 1210, known for its robustness and reliability. The dial is a wonderful talking point—its Chevron texture gives it depth and character, while the Explorer-style 3-6-9 Arabic numerals set it apart from the more common Precision dials of the era.

Paired with this already rare dial is a bracelet that is a collector’s treasure in its own right. The JB Champion bracelet with the oversized Rolex logo is one of the most desirable US-market bracelet variants, often sought after by collectors on its own for over £1200.

This watch combines originality, rarity, and design flair, making it an important and unusual find for collectors of early Rolex Oysters.
