Rolex Oysterdate 6694, 1969

We are proud to present this stunning example of the ever-popular Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694, from circa 1969. The majority of sub-£5k vintage Rolex watches have seen tremendous growth over the past 12-months, this watch is no exception and it's easy to see why.

This Rolex 6694 features an attractive black dial, 34mm case and a clean stainless-steel bracelet, all of which help make this Rolex the understated and classy dress watch it is. We would describe it as 'chameleonlike'; transitioning effortlessly from a sophisticated dress watch when worn with formal wear to an understated daily wearer when paired with jeans.

This is an excellent example of what is quickly becoming one of the most popular sub-£5k vintage Rolexes on the market. It is also worth mentioning that the last Rolex Oysterdate Precision, 6694 we had in the shop, sold before we had a chance to list it, selling to one of our VIP Newsletter members!
