An outstanding Rolex Oysterdate Precision Ref. 6494 from 1959, preserved in exceptional original condition. This example features a stunning original white dial that has aged beautifully, with all of its original rhodium hour markers and luminous plots still intact. something rarely seen on a watch of this age. The original hands remain with the watch, showing only minor lume loss on the minute hand.

The watch retains its original Rolex crown and is fitted with its highly desirable original Rolex stretch Oyster braceletfeaturing the rare oversized Rolex logo clasp. These expandable bracelets are considerably more collectible than their standard counterparts, and this example remains in excellent condition. Completing the package is the sought-after red and black “roulette” date wheel, one of the most charming details found on vintage Oysterdate models.

Even more special, the watch is accompanied by its original Rolex presentation box, making it an increasingly difficult set to find today.

Measuring 34mm, this is one of the finest and cleanest Ref. 6494 examples I’ve had the pleasure of offering. A beautifully preserved vintage Rolex with exceptional originality, outstanding collector appeal, and all the details enthusiasts look for.

Please Note (Especially for New Collectors)

Before placing your order, please remember that most of our watches are authentic vintage timepieces from the 1920s–1990s. Although every watch is carefully serviced, we preserve as many original movement components as possible to maintain its authenticity. Because of this, vintage mechanical watches will not keep time as precisely as modern watches, and small daily time variations are completely normal.

If your priority is perfect timekeeping, we recommend purchasing a modern watch instead. Vintage watches are meant to be appreciated for their history, craftsmanship, originality, and character. not absolute accuracy.
