Rolex Precision Help

Hello there.
During Easter I've found at my fiancee grandpa apartment, old Rolex Precision watch.
I would like to know more info about that model. I've found on the internet that it is quite rare model from 1950s.
Will be grateful for some more information like exact model name, years of production, release price, approximate value of watch and any other infos.
Photo of original will be also nice because in mine the crown is missing.

Great thanks

Looks like a model 8896. It's a non oyster dress Rolex from the 1950s. Examples in perfect (or close to perfect) condition sell for $1,500 to $2,000. I picked one for a lot less and it was nice. You watch has very weathered dial (not good) and what looks like serious pitting on the case/caseback (even worse). Both issues significantly decrease the value of the watch. Also, though dress models are not very common, they are also not very collectible. As such, you watch is probably worth somewhere in the $500 range.

I gave the OP an almost identical evaluation on WUS. Great minds think alike
