Precision Oysterdate Ref.6694 Full Set Original Owner
The Blueprint
The Condition Report
This Rolex Oysterdate Precision, reference 6694, is a true "time capsule" piece. Acquired from the original owner who purchased it in Sweden in 1974, it represents an exceptional opportunity for a collector seeking impeccable provenance and a complete historical narrative.
The watch is in honest, excellent vintage condition. The stainless steel case retains thick, strong lugs, indicating it has been used with care and spared from excessive polishing over the decades. Surface scratches are present, consistent with its age, but do not detract from its strong original geometry.
The standout feature is the striking, intense blue dial. It remains in pristine aesthetic condition, providing a high-contrast backdrop for the silver hour markers and hands. All original tritium lume plots are intact, appearing full and "puffy," with a patina that perfectly matches the luminous material in the hands. The white-painted text is crisp and sharp against the deep blue sunburst finish.
While the watch is paired with an original Rolex Oyster bracelet, it is a later replacement dating to the early 1980s (clasp code "VE"). This is a common and practical upgrade for vintage Rolexes, as this period introduced solid links for significantly more durability. Consequently, the bracelet is in fantastic condition with very minimal stretch and a solid feel on the wrist.
This offering is defined by its remarkable "Super Full Set" status. It comes as a complete package, including the original warranty papers, hang tag, and the original Rolex inner and outer boxes. What makes this set truly rare is the outer cardboard box, which features two original factory stickers: a white paper sticker with the reference "6694" and a specific blue sticker indicating the dial color. This dual-sticker marking is definitive proof that the box was born with this specific watch at the factory and is not a later assembly. It is a rare, investment-grade collector’s set that remains exactly as it was delivered in 1974.
Performance Log
The technical values listed below are merely a snapshot recorded in the "Dial Up" position. Variations in amplitude or rate compared to modern standards are physiological for vintage timepieces.
Furthermore, strictly adhering to our philosophy of preservation, we prioritize retaining original components whenever possible, even if this results in slightly lower performance metrics, provided they do not compromise the reliability and correct functioning of the timepiece.
