Notes

The Oysterdate Precision Ref. 6694, long appreciated for its clean lines and robust reliability, becomes particularly desirable in this uncommon two-tone configuration combining stainless steel with a pink gold–capped case. This elegant contrast highlights Rolex’s mid-century approach to refined dress-sport design, offering a softer, warmer alternative to traditional yellow gold executions.

The present example is distinguished by its superb black galvanic dial, a rare and captivating variant whose glossy depth and gilt accents provide exceptional visual richness. The minimalistic layout, featuring applied indexes and the discreet date aperture, exemplifies the understated charm that defines the Precision family.

Powered by a manual-winding movement housed within an Oyster case known for durability and everyday practicality, this two-tone Ref. 6694 stands as a refined and collectible expression of Rolex’s classic aesthetic language, a watch where rarity, elegance, and subtle distinction converge.
