Rolex Vintage 6694 Champagne Watch: The Review

Let’s talk about this beautiful Rolex 6694.

This Oyster has had a long lifespan in the Rolex ranges. Indeed, reference 6694 was introduced at the beginning of the 1960s and lasted until the end of the 1980s. A great career.

For me, it is the perfect watch for the collector who is taking his first steps into the Rolex universe. Relatively inexpensive, the Rolex DNA is clearly present with its cyclops glass and Oyster bracelet. Comfortable with a dressy or more casual look, this watch is definitely a "no brainer".

The one that is on the workbench today has a champagne-colored dial and dates from 1972. Mechanically and aesthetically, this watch is in good health but as its maintenance history is unknown I therefore prefer to service it.
