1974 Rolex Lady Datejust 6917 - 18K White Gold Lapis Lazuli Dial
The Apex Of Stone And Metal
A Rolex with a stone dial is already a significant piece. A Lapis Lazuli dial, with its deep celestial blue and natural gold-colored pyrite flecks, is one of the most desirable. But to find one set in solid 18K white gold is to encounter a truly rare configuration. This 1974 Lady Date represents a convergence of Rolex's most confident work. The cool, understated tone of white gold provides a perfect frame for the vibrant, organic dial, creating a combination that is far more subtle and rare than its yellow gold counterpart.
An Immaculate And Unpolished Survivor
What elevates this specific watch to the highest tier is its state of preservation. Stone dials from this era are notoriously fragile and prone to developing fractures over time. This Lapis Lazuli dial is immaculate, with no cracks or imperfections. Furthermore, the entire watch, from the fluted bezel to the full President bracelet, remains completely unpolished. This is a true survivor piece, retaining the sharp, factory-defined edges that are so often lost to time and servicing. It is a reference example of how this watch left the factory nearly fifty years ago.
Exceptional Original Condition
This watch is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case is unpolished, showing its original lines and finishing. The Lapis Lazuli dial is perfect and free of any cracks. The white gold President bracelet is tight and well-preserved, showing minimal stretch for its age. This is a top-tier example where the condition is as rare as the configuration itself. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Discerning Eye
This is not just a vintage watch, it is a piece of jewelry executed at the highest level of 1970s craftsmanship. The combination of solid white gold and a perfect Lapis dial is for the collector who understands subtlety and rarity. It is a statement of taste that is both powerful and discreet. This watch works because it is the ultimate expression of a classic reference, preserved in a condition that is nearly impossible to find today.

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!!!
