Rolex Oysterdate 6694

The Rolex 6694 replaced the 6094 and 6494 references in 1958 and was produced until 1989. The 34-millimetre Ref. 6694 is reduced to the absolute essentials. The Oysterdate is one of the simplest Rolex models, yet has all the characteristics that make up a timepiece from the Geneva manufacturer. Additionally, the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 is the only model besides the Vintage Daytona with manual winding. For this reason, the watch is not marked "Oyster Perpetual", but "Oysterdate Precision". Rolex uses the word "Perpetual" to designate its automatic movements.

The vintage charm of Ref. 6694

Since the Rolex 6694 was produced between 1958 and 1989, it is now only available as a vintage model. Playing to this strength, the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 has many attractive vintage features such as

• Plexiglas instead of mineral or sapphire crystal

• Tritium luminous material on the hands and dial

• Classic size with 34mm

• Manual winding

• Vintage calibre 1225 with 21,600 vibrations per second

Although the Rolex 6694 is one of the simplest and most classic references from Geneva, the watch is extremely versatile. In the 30 or so years that Ref. 6694 has been in production, Rolex has offered the model with a variety of dials, including black, blue and silver. Among the rarest and most sought-after dials are the brownish "Salmon Dials" and silver dials with gold indices and gold hands.

Also, the Rolex 6694 can be worn excellently with various bracelets. While this reference was originally only offered with the sporty Oyster bracelet (Ref. 78350), the fine-linked Jubilée bracelet can also be fitted to the watch. Besides, vintage watches such as the Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 have the advantage that they cut a fine figure on elegant leather straps in addition to stainless steel bracelets.

The Rolex 6694 price is still comparatively low. It is better to strike sooner rather than later because the prices for Rolex models, especially those made of stainless steel, are continually rising.
