Rolex Precision 9659 Description
The Rolex Precision ref. 9659 is a vintage manually wound dress watch likely produced in the 1950s, featuring an understated design and slim profile. This reference typically came in stainless steel or 14k gold, with a classic 34mm case diameter. It forgoes the automatic rotor of Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual line, instead relying on a manual-wind movement from the Caliber 1200 or 1210 series, depending on the exact production year. As part of the Precision family, the 9659 exemplifies Rolex’s commitment to elegant simplicity and precise timekeeping without the added bulk of an automatic movement. Dials were minimal, often with stick or Roman numeral markers, paired with pencil-style hands, and protected by an acrylic crystal. The lug-to-lug measurement is approximately 41mm with an 18mm lug width, maintaining a clean and balanced wrist presence. Although less known than Oyster models, the 9659 is appreciated for its vintage charm, slimmer case profile, and affordability in the vintage Rolex space.
