Rolex Precision 4222 Description
A manually-wound model from the 1940s, significant for its oversized 35mm case, which was unusually large and modern for its era. While not a sports model, its substantial size combined with an elegant design—featuring slim lugs and multi-faceted numerals—made it a notable stylistic statement. The Ref. 4222 represents Rolex’s focus on pure design and proportion, demonstrating the brand’s ability to create timepieces that were both classic in quality and forward-thinking in their wrist presence, setting them apart from smaller, more conventional watches of the time.
