Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6623

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 6623 is a vintage ladies’ wristwatch introduced during the late 1950s and produced into the early 1960s. This reference features a modest 26mm stainless steel case, enhanced by a polished smooth bezel that complements its minimalist, no-date design. It houses the Rolex Caliber 1130, a manually wound movement with a 44-hour power reserve, notable for its robust performance and compact engineering tailored for smaller watch dimensions. Dials were typically understated, presented in tones like silver or white, with applied baton or Arabic numerals and pencil-style hands under an acrylic crystal. True to the Oyster standard, the 6623 includes a screw-down crown and caseback, providing water resistance that reinforces its practicality for everyday wear. With a lug-to-lug length of approximately 33mm and a lug width of 13mm, the watch offers proportional balance and refined elegance on smaller wrists. Often paired with either an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, the 6623 is now considered a desirable entry point into vintage Rolex collecting for those seeking timeless simplicity, traditional craftsmanship, and a reliable hand-wound movement.
