Rolex Lady Precision 18k Ref. 2642 Linen dial

The Rolex Precision Ref. 2642 is a truly elegant timepiece, designed for the classic lady who appreciates refined proportions. With its delicate 22 mm case, it wears gracefully on the wrist subtle, understated, yet rich in detail and luxury.

This watch is crafted entirely from 18k white gold, not only in the case but also in the hour markers and hands. A distinctive feature can be found at the 6 o’clock position, where the word “Swiss” is flanked by two small sigma symbols. These sigma marks confirm that the applied elements are made of solid gold, adding an extra layer of exclusivity.

The dial itself is particularly noteworthy. It features a rare linen texture, resembling the fine structure of woven fabric. This design was used by Rolex in select vintage models and is appreciated by moste collectors for its unique character and depth.

The watch comes fitted with a new leather strap, though it can easily be styled with a different strap to suit personal taste and it is completed with an original Rolex buckle.

This is a small vintage piece filled with beautiful details and precious materials an ideal watch for a woman with  style and class.

Unlike Datejust or Sea-Dweller, Precision is technically not a model name. It is simply a description of the specifications of the caliber inside.

You may be familiar with COSC-certification. Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, is an independent non-profit institute that performs accuracy testing of Swiss made watch movements. Every individual movement, identified by its serial number, is tested and certified as a chronometer if it meets a set of standards. The most familiar is an average maximum daily deviation of +6/-4 seconds for mechanical movements. Today, about 3% of Swiss watches is chronometer rated. Rolex is, by numbers, the largest player in COSC-certified watches.

Most Rolex movements are chronometers. Many even underwent additional testing by Rolex themselves, to be labeled Superlative Chronometer. There are, however, Rolex movements that have not been externally certified for accuracy.

Famous are the Ref. 5513 Submariners. They did not feature individual movement numbers, indicating they were not chronometer certified. The Ref. 5512 was the chronometer variant, simultaneously available.

Another example are the Precision-labeled watches from Rolex. These were manually wound calibers, tested by Rolex themselves. A common variant is the Oyster Precision, which is a manually wound, time-only watch in the familiar Oyster case. Do not be fooled though, the Rolex quality is all there!

Several non-chronometer models are available under the Precision label. Besides the time-only Oyster Precision, a manual-wound non-chronometer Oysterdate Precision in 34mm case can also be found. This model is, in appearance, very similar to the more common Oyster Perpetual Date, but with a manual, non-chronometer caliber.

Today, all Rolex movements are automatic (perpetual) and COSC-rated. So to own a Precision caliber by the famed house is to own a piece of watchmaking history.
