The Rolex Oysterdate Precision Ref. 6694 is one of the longest-running and most recognisable references in the brand’s history, produced for over three decades. Beloved for its simplicity, reliability, and timeless style, it holds a special place in Rolex heritage as the final manually wound Oyster model, marking the end of an era in the brand’s mechanical evolution.

This 1975 example features a beautifully preserved silver sunburst dial that plays with the light, complemented by warm caramel tritium lume on the hands and hour markers. The smooth bezel offers a clean, understated profile, while the 34mm Oyster case makes it both elegant and versatile. The watch is fitted with its original Rolex 7835 Oyster bracelet, completing the classic look.
