The Rolex Oysterdate 6694 is an emblematic watch that embodies the precision and elegance for which the brand is known. Introduced in the mid-20th century, the 6694 model quickly gained recognition for its innovative design and reliable performance. A part of the Oyster collection, it marked a significant evolution in Rolex's line-up, offering a manual-wind movement housed in the iconic waterproof Oyster case.
    
This combination made it both a sophisticated and practical choice for watch enthusiasts.
    
The 6694's design featured a clean, minimalist dial that emphasised legibility, with a date window at the 3 o'clock position. Its sturdy construction and timeless aesthetic helped establish it as a versatile accessory suitable for any occasion. Through decades of production, the Oysterdate 6694 carved out a niche as a favourite among collectors admired for its classic styling and historical significance.
    
Today, it remains a testament to Rolex's enduring legacy in watchmaking excellence.

What's on Offer

We are delighted to offer this beautiful Rolex Oysterdate 6694 for sale in such exceptional preowned condition. This is a timeless vintage timepiece that blends classic Rolex design with everyday functionality. Crafted from stainless steel, its 34mm Oyster case offers a sleek yet robust presence on the wrist. The black dial, complimented by applied gilt hour markers and slim pencil hands with lumnious inserts, adds a refined vintage aesthetic, with warm golden tones that enhance its sophisticated appeal.

A date complication sits at 3 o’clock, magnified by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens for improved legibility. Unlike many Rolex models, the 6694 is powered by the manually wound Caliber 1225, giving the wearer a more traditional watch experience. 

Paired with its original Oyster steel bracelet, this watch maintains its authentic period-correct look. Appreciated for its reliability, clean design, and vintage charm, the 6694 remains a desirable entry point into Rolex collecting and the black and gilt dial on this example are particularly attractive - a great buy!
