Rolex Ladies Datejust 26 mm Candy Pink Roman Oyster Steel Watch 6516 Circa 1968 |
Rolex Ladies Datejust 26 mm Candy Pink Roman Oyster Steel Watch 6516 Circa 1968
| More Information |
| The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 6516 belongs to the classic generation of compact ladies' Rolex watches produced during the 1960s, combining traditional Oyster construction with the mechanical sophistication of early automatic movements. This particular example features a striking repainted pink dial with bold black Roman numerals and a finely detailed railway minute track, giving the watch a distinctive, personalized appearance. Its stainless-steel Oyster case is complemented by an engine-turned bezel, characterized by delicate machine-cut grooves and polished divisions. From a watchmaking perspective, the reference is commonly associated with the Rolex Caliber 1161, a 26-jewel automatic movement incorporating a traditional non-quickset date mechanism. The Plexiglass crystal, Cyclops magnifier and screw-down crown preserve the practical engineering of vintage Rolex production. The stainless-steel Oyster bracelet completes its understated design. For collectors, this reference offers the mechanical character of an early Rolex Date, while the refinished dial should be understood as a cosmetic modification rather than an original factory configuration. |
