About Rolex Oysterdate Precision Ref. 6694:
The Rolex Oysterdate Precision was produced from the early 1960s through the 1970s as Rolex's manually wound date watch — sharing the proven Oyster case architecture but powered by a hand-wound movement rather than the self-winding calibers of the Datejust line. Reference 6694, produced in the mid-to-late 1970s, is the final and most refined generation of the Oysterdate Precision, distinguished by its clean round case with smooth bezel and the full suite of applied indices and crown logo on the dial. The blue dial variant is among the most visually striking and collectible dial configurations in the entire reference — the deep, saturated blue provides a dramatic backdrop for the gold-tone indices and hands that has made blue-dial vintage sports and dress watches among the most sought-after configurations on the current market. At 34mm, the case wears on the smaller end of men's sizing today but was considered a full-sized men's watch in its production era, sitting comfortably on most wrists as an elegant daily wearer. For the Rolex collector or the vintage watch enthusiast seeking a genuine 1970s Rolex at a compelling price point, the 6694 blue dial is an excellent and immediately attractive choice. See less
