Rolex oysterdate 6694 Shantung dial WITH CASEBACK STICKER
SKU: 1707
Rolex Oysterdate Precision ref. 6694 – 1972
A truly special example of vintage Rolex. The Oysterdate Precision 6694 features a shantung silver dial, one of the rarest dials in the 6694 line. Its delicate vertical texture catches the light beautifully and instantly sets it apart from the usual silver or champagne dials.
Even more remarkable, this watch still retains its original factory caseback sticker — an extremely rare survival after 50+ years of wear. Finding a shantung dial with an intact vintage caseback sticker is virtually unheard of, making this piece a true collector’s gem. The watch is mounted on a clean Oyster case, powered by a hand-wound Rolex calibre, and wears exactly as a classic vintage Precision should: slim, elegant, and mechanically honest.
Technical background
The 6694 Oysterdate combines a hand-wound movement with the screw-down Oyster case, delivering reliability, durability, and that tactile winding satisfaction Rolex is known for. Examples with shantung dials are scarce, and surviving caseback stickers make this an exceptionally original, museum-quality watch.
