Atelier Note
A 1982 Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694, 34 mm steel Oyster case with smooth bezel, original silver sunburst dial and original Oyster bracelet, movement serviced in atelier in September 2026. Delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A steel Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694, silver sunburst dial and Oyster bracelet
The 34 mm Oyster case, in steel, measures 11 mm thick. Its smooth, polished bezel slopes gently down toward the domed acrylic Crystal; the sides of the case middle, with still-sharp edges, extend into short lugs that hold the bracelet; the case has most likely never been polished. The screw-down crown, signed with the Rolex crown, secures the case at 3 o'clock; the screw-down caseback bears the reference of the piece.
The silver dial features a sunburst finish that shifts with the light. Twelve applied baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock and underlined with a black line, are punctuated by luminous tritium dots, whose cream tone marks the age of the piece; the applied crown sits above 12. The luminous baton hands and slender centre seconds hand stand out clearly. The Rolex Oysterdate and Precision mentions are printed in black, and the T Swiss Made T closes the dial at 6 o'clock.
The calibre 1225 is a 17-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement, with date at 3 o'clock and no quickset; the Precision mention indicates a movement not certified as a chronometer. The serial number dates production to 1982.
The original steel Oyster bracelet, with brushed links and polished edges, has already been polished; it closes with an original steel Rolex Buckle folding clasp; its 18 cm length is adjustable. The acrylic Crystal bears the Cyclops magnifier over the date window. With 42 mm lug-to-lug Lug-to-lug, the watch can be worn on a man's wrist as well as a woman's wrist.

Why choose a vintage Rolex Oysterdate watch?
The Oysterdate Precision 6694 was, from the 1960s to the late 1980s, Rolex's hand-wound watch with date: a 34 mm Oyster case, a smooth bezel, a clean dial, without chronometer certification. This 1982 piece with silver sunburst dial, on its original Oyster bracelet, is a classic version, to wear every day as well as in the evening.
Each piece offered by Atelier Victor is checked by our watchmakers before being put online: movement tested, case and dial examined. It is delivered with the Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate, a 1-year mechanical guarantee on the movement and a lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

Frequently asked questions
What does Precision mean on the dial?
The Precision mention refers to Rolex watches with a movement not certified as a chronometer, unlike Oyster Perpetual Datejust models. The 6694 therefore remained hand-wound until the end of its production. We do not attribute to this piece any history that we cannot verify.
Can the date be set quickly?
No. Calibre 1225 does not have a quick-set date: the date is adjusted by turning the hands past midnight, using the unscrewed crown.
Are the dial and hands original?
Yes. The silver sunburst dial, marked T Swiss Made T, and the hands are those of the watch. The tritium luminous dots show a cream patina born of time, visible in the photos.
Is the bracelet original and what size is it?
Yes. The Oyster steel bracelet, reference 78350, with 19 end links, and its Rolex Buckle folding clasp are original. Its 18 cm length is adjustable by removing links.
