Today's offering showcases this superior Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Oysterdate Precision with gold accents and original and uncommon Super Oyster crown. It is in gorgeous original condition.

It is one of the relatively few Rolex models to feature the short-lived Super Oyster crown which was produced for only three years and only installed on a some of the Oyster watches during that time.

The 6294 served as one of the early predecessors to the more commonly seen 6694. A stylish watch, it features a more mid-century look than some of the subsequent Oysterdates. And its gold dial accents give it a more dressed-up style than all steel models and make it work well with a wider range of both casual and business attire.

It measures 34mm in diameter - the size of a Rolex Date model. It has the look of a solid gold Rolex for a fraction of the cost.

The Oysterdate Precision have become desirable non-sport vintage Rolex watches because their understated and classic design contrast the "busier" look of some of the modern Rolex watches. It's a watch that is at home being worn everyday or only for special occasions. Produced from the early 1950's into the 1980's, it was a strong commercial success for Rolex, winning a large following.

Part of it current appeal is that with the ever-increasing prices of vintage Rolexes, they are among the more affordable options yet still have a date.

Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 740 handwound movement with early shock resistance. Unlike most later Oysterdates that for several decades came fitted with 1200 series movements, this come with an early handwound movement one associates with their Art Deco movements and watches from the '40's. It served as the base movement for their early Perpetual watches, like the Bubblebacks, which added the automatic winding to the base engine. It features there patented Super Balance system and was even originally adjusted to two positions.

It is in gorgeous original condition - on the wrist is presents as mint. Our photos couldn't begin to do the watch justice!

Its case presents mint. One lug has to tiny blemishes and the bottom of two lugs show fairly light polishing. The rest of the case shows only light signs of previous polishing.

Its untouched original silver dial is just short of perfect mint with very slight loss of luminous.

A Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and timing testing and regulation (a $495 value).

It is keeping time on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing position.
