About the watch
In Rolex’s long history, few models can claim the renown of the Datejust. Born in 1945, it has been made in countless combinations of cases, bracelets and dials. The Lady-Datejust brings that same design into a 26mm case, and the reference 69174 is one of its best-known versions. The 69174 pairs a stainless steel case with an 18k white gold fluted bezel and a sapphire crystal, which gave it better scratch resistance and a slightly more modern look than earlier ladies’ references. Inside is the caliber 2135, a self-winding movement with quickset date. Like many neo-vintage Rolexes, it has the strength and reliability of a modern watch and keeps the proportions and charm of the vintage ones.
This particular piece was sold in Hong Kong in 1991. The silver dial has aged beautifully and now shows a soft, light beige patina that gives it a warm, lively look on the wrist. The dial and hands are in perfect condition. The watch sits on its Jubilee bracelet, reference 62510D, and the overall condition is great, with no major scratches. It comes with its original box and papers. With its 26mm case, it is a classic Rolex made for a lady’s wrist, and a very easy way into the world of vintage Rolex.
