This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady-Date, reference 6516, is a vintage 26mm dress watch that served as the direct ancestor of today's Lady-Datejust, prized by collectors for its compact Oyster case and clean, classic dial layout. It's powered by Rolex's self-winding automatic caliber of the period, delivering hours, minutes, running seconds, and a date display at three o'clock viewed through a cyclops-magnified crystal. The case is finished with a period-correct acrylic crystal and carries Rolex's traditional Oyster water resistance, with a smooth polished bezel that keeps the look understated and elegant. Made in Switzerland, the 6516 captures the design vocabulary that Rolex's Lady-Datejust line still draws upon today. This vintage 1966 example is in excellent pre-owned condition with only light, normal wear consistent with its age, and comes with its original box on its Oyster bracelet.
Comes with the original box.
