Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6718 Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 6718 is a vintage ladies’ watch that emerged during the 1960s and continued into the early 1970s. This reference features a 26mm stainless steel case paired with a fluted 18k white gold bezel, offering a refined blend of elegance and daily-wear practicality. The movement inside is the Rolex Caliber 1160, a manually wound mechanical engine known for its durability and straightforward construction, offering a power reserve of approximately 44 hours. Dials were commonly silver or champagne in tone, featuring applied baton hour markers and fine stick hands beneath an acrylic crystal. The watch’s design remains classic and reserved, with Rolex’s signature screw-down crown and caseback delivering water resistance typical of the Oyster series. With a lug-to-lug length around 33mm and a lug width of 13mm, the ref. 6718 is proportionally tailored for smaller wrists while retaining all the hallmarks of mid-century Rolex craftsmanship. Originally paired with either a riveted Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, the 6718 continues to appeal to collectors interested in modest, well-built vintage Rolex timepieces with subtle precious metal accents.
