1969 Rolex Oysterdate Precision (Ref. 6694) With Box and Military Provenance
Manual wind movements have always been a part of Rolex, and the 6694 was a staple in the Rolex production line from the 60s to 80s. The workhorse Rolex 1225 movement is reliable and dependably accurate. This particular model is what we would consider a "time capsule" piece, featuring its original U.S. Army and Airforce sales receipt, box, hang tag and caseback sticker. The watch itself is unpolished and the dial has taken on a uniquely different patina that really creates a wonderful vintage look on the wrist. This watch is a true collector's piece with fascinating provenance perfect for the collector obsessed with the small details.
