Details
Description
First introduced in the 1960s, the Rolex reference 6694 in particular is a special watch. While many are familiar with the Oyster case and perpetual automatic winding mechanism, the replacement of the “Perpetual” label in its name points to the fact that it was one of the rare examples from Rolex that were not self-winding. The 6694 is a “Precision” model—it also is one of the few vintage Rolex that is not “Chronometer Certified.”
