On the hunt for a thin vintage Rolex...and it is not gonna be a Cellini. Help needed!

[The moose]

I recently developed an interest in thin watches and of course it has to be a Rollie. Thus far I have found 6426 to be the thinnest at 10mm but I haven't done much research.
Does anyone know any model that is vintage and around 10mm thick...would like to see it at 36mm in diameter if possible...

prince springs to mind or a king midas but both need a bit of a rethink on the 36mm thing

6424 sits beautifully on the wrist. It's 36mm vs the 34mm 6426. I love my 6426, I always tell people how much comfort it is on the wrist than perpetual a and more aesthetically pleasing since it sits closer to the wrist. Wears larger than most 34mms as well.

Have you considered a 1009? I think they are beautiful watches...either 34 or 36mm

Aha! So the 6424 is with a larger case size at 36mm but the same thickness as 6426, at 10mm?

Or a VeriFlat.

6512...18k only....sub seconds only....oyster. Only Oyster ever made with a manual wind 1000 series movement. 36mm

Yep, that would correct
The veriflat RWT mentioned is beautiful as well, although they're quite rare, and even more rare in good original condition.

Automatic, and 34mm. Much thicker than a manual wind oyster. That's an absolutely beautiful watch though. I love the markerless dial and brick pave bracelet

I wear both the 1009 Zephyr and the 6424: the 6424 definitely wears thinner on the wrist, but I'm wearing it on a leather NATO anyway.

Is there really a 36mm Veriflat?

They're so sexy idk if this link is even safe for work but to answer your question I don't believe so

Rolex also made some 38mm dress watches but they weren't oyster cases. I passed on one for 2.2k regretfully

I have a 36mm rolex precision 6424 that looks like a dress watch especially when paired with a leather strap. Heres a pic of it beside its normal 34mm brother.
