The Rolex Date reference 6916 is a classic vintage timepiece that exudes timeless elegance and precision craftsmanship. Produced during the 1970s, this particular model features a modest 26mm stainless steel case, embodying the era's preference for smaller, more understated watch sizes. The watch boasts a refined blue linen sigma dial creating a harmonious and luxurious aesthetic. The date function is prominently displayed at the 3 o'clock position, accompanied by the iconic cyclops magnifier for enhanced readability. Powered by Rolex's reliable automatic movement, the Date 6916 not only reflects the brand's commitment to accuracy and durability but also serves as a charming representation of vintage watch design, making it a sought-after collector's item for enthusiasts appreciating both horological history and enduring style.
Today's example comes to us in excellent unpolished condition. The Blue Linen Sigma dial is excellent with thick pumpkin hour plots present. The case back has all of its engravings and appears untouched. The bracelet is tight and shows no stretch and has a total of 11 links. Watch is running COSC. Just a lovely example of a classic beauty.
