Why This Watch Matters This 35mm Rolex Precision is a sublime piece for someone who values great quality and design in the most understated way possible. The Full Story The Precision models from this era share a very zen-like design philosophy, and this example shares that exact DNA collectors have come to appreciate. This line started appearing in the 1940s, when a 35mm diameter was considered oversized. The slim case profile with elongated angular lugs also adds to the much revered presence and dressiness of the piece. That, combined with the ultra-narrow bezel, allows the dial to take center stage. The dial is void of any distractions, and is adorned with beautiful applied indexes and a set of sharp dauphine hands. The overall design lends itself to a striking dress watch with a certain mature presence.
