1965 Ladies Rolex DateJust 6917 - Integrated Havana Buckley Dial
This is peak mid century Rolex with impossibly rare specificaiton
What makes this Datejust special is not size or era. It's the pairing. An integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet matched with a Buckley dial in fine metal is a configuration that rarely surfaces intact. Most examples lost their original bracelets long ago or were separated over time. Seeing both elements together, preserved as intended, is where the real rarity sits. In full yellow gold, nothing feels added on or compromised. It is exactly what Rolex intended the Ladies Datejust to be at the time.
Why this configuration matters
The integrated bracelet is the core of the watch. When these stretch or lose shape, the watch loses its presence. This one remains tight, which is increasingly difficult to find on examples from this era. The gold dial keeps everything cohesive. No contrast for the sake of it, just a uniform execution that emphasizes material and proportion. This is a classic Datejust configuration that has aged well precisely because it was never chasing novelty.
What you need to know before wearing it
The watch is in good vintage condition. The bracelet is tight. The case appears unpolished and shows wear consistent with age. The dial is in good condition. The crystal is clean with no scratches. The movement is confirmed to be running well after passing by our test bench.
Why this watch still works
This is a Datejust that rewards people who understand details rather than trends. It's a Ladies Datejust that relies on gold work, proportion, and longevity rather than trend. It works as a daily vintage watch or as a collector piece that still wears easily.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
