Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust was the world’s first self-winding chronometer wristwatch to feature a date window that changed automatically at midnight. Launched to celebrate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, it debuted with the now-iconic Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. The Datejust quickly became a symbol of timeless elegance and innovation. Over the decades, it has evolved in size, material, and movement, while remaining true to its classic design and reputation for precision and style.

What's on Offer

This elegant Rolex Lady-Datejust Ref. 69179B, dating to circa 1989, showcases the brand's distinctive Tridor construction - a luxurious combination of three colours of gold. The 26mm case is crafted from 18ct white gold, its fluted bezel sharply defined and richly reflective. Complementing the case is the signature President bracelet, seamlessly integrated and fashioned from a striking mix of white, yellow, and rose gold center links, giving the watch a warm yet refined presence on the wrist.

The dial is a true highlight — in stunning mother of pearl, it is certainly the jewel in the crown! Set with diamond-dot hour markers, each precisely positioned to catch the light with every movement. An applied Rolex coronet proudly sits at 12 o'clock, underscoring the brand’s heritage of prestige and craftsmanship. We must mention - this colour be a custom dial, but we are not completely sure. 

The date aperture at 3 o’clock is enhanced by the iconic Cyclops lens, magnifying the numeral for clear visibility without disrupting the dial’s balance.

Completing this classic timepiece is its original three-colour gold President bracelet, an unmistakable symbol of Rolex luxury. The bracelet does show some signs of previous wear, but nothing we are concerned by. It is a beautiful watch and looks fantastic on the wrist - a great buy! 

This example is sold with its original inner and outer box, making it a rare and collectible piece for the discerning enthusiast.
