Brief History of the Rolex Reference 6094

The Rolex Reference 6094 was produced in the early 1950s and is among the earliest Datejust models, predating the widespread adoption of automatic winding in Rolex date watches. Unlike later Datejusts, the 6094 is powered by the manual-wind Caliber 740, making it part of the short-lived “Datejust Precision” era. These watches are distinguished by their classic proportions, domed acrylic crystals, and early date window design without a quick-set feature. Today, the Reference 6094 is valued by collectors for its historical significance, understated elegance, and role in the evolution of Rolex’s iconic date wristwatches.
