Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 6924

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 6924 is a vintage ladies’ model produced in the 1960s and 1970s, crafted to deliver elegant styling in a compact form. It features a 26mm Oyster case typically constructed in stainless steel, paired with either a smooth or engine-turned bezel depending on the configuration. The watch uses an acrylic crystal with the Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock and maintains Rolex’s hallmark screw-down crown and caseback for water resistance. Inside the 6924 is the manually wound Rolex Caliber 1160, a reliable movement with a 46-hour power reserve, notable for its durability though lacking automatic winding. Dial options included silver, black, and champagne, usually with baton markers and stick hands, though some examples featured Roman numerals. The lug-to-lug measurement is approximately 33mm and the lug width is 13mm, keeping the profile small and ideal for more formal or traditional wear. Though overshadowed by its automatic counterparts, the 6924 holds interest among vintage collectors who appreciate hand-wound Rolex references with clean lines and mid-century proportions.
