The Rolex Vintage Oyster Perpetual Date reference 6694 from the 1970s is a refined and understated classic. Its 34mm stainless steel Oyster case offers both durability and timeless style, paired here with a brown leather strap and buckle for a warm, vintage appeal. The champagne dial is accented with slender stick hour markers, baton-style hands, and a date display at 3 o’clock, magnified by the iconic Cyclops lens. Protected by an acrylic crystal, the watch is powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement—distinct from many automatic Rolex models of the era—providing a tactile connection to traditional watchmaking. The reference 6694 remains a versatile vintage piece, valued for its simplicity, reliability, and enduring elegance.
