Unedited photos of this watch · SKU W2194
A 26mm Rolex Lady Datejust 69173 from 1998, in steel and 18ct yellow gold, with a factory blue vignette dial set with large "big stone" diamond markers, the fluted gold bezel and a two-tone Jubilee bracelet. It comes with its box and papers.
The 69173 is the classic steel and gold Lady Datejust of the late 1980s and 1990s, with a 26mm Oyster case, sapphire crystal and the self-winding calibre 2135 with quickset date. The vignette dial fades from a bright blue centre to a deeper edge, and the big stone diamonds stand out well against it: one of the more eye-catching factory dials Rolex made for this reference.
Our watchmakers have serviced and pressure tested it in our Birmingham atelier and graded it excellent throughout. If you need a little more length on the bracelet, we can source extra links at additional cost.
