Rolex Oyster 6244

The Rolex Oyster ref. 6244 is a rarely seen manually-wound wristwatch from the early 1950s, produced in limited numbers and featuring understated styling with durable construction. This reference is housed in a 34mm stainless steel Oyster case equipped with a smooth bezel, acrylic crystal, and Rolex’s signature screw-down crown and caseback, ensuring basic water resistance. It was powered by the Rolex Caliber 710, a manual-wind movement used during the era before the wide adoption of the Caliber 1210 series. Dials typically displayed minimalist layouts, with silver or white finishes, Arabic numerals or applied baton markers, and pencil-style hands. With a lug-to-lug measurement of approximately 41mm and a lug width of 19mm, the watch maintains classic vintage proportions. Due to its short production run and transitional movement, the 6244 is a niche piece for collectors interested in early post-war Rolex production.
