Rolex Datejust 6900

Reference 6900 is an early and uncommon reference for the 26mm Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust, produced in the early 1980s. It represents the archetypal stainless steel, smooth-bezel configuration for its generation. It is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2035/2135 family of movements, which were technically significant for introducing a ‘quickset’ date complication. The technical specification denotes a 26mm stainless steel case with a smooth, polished bezel (00 code) and an acrylic crystal. The significance of the Ref. 6900 lies in its status as a direct precursor to the more commonly known Ref. 69160.
