1979 Rolex Lady Datejust 6917 - 18K Yellow Gold Red "Oxblood" Stella Dial
A Classic Design With A Bold Streak
The Rolex Stella dials of the 1970s represent one of the brand's most expressive and collectible eras. While most commonly seen on the men's Day-Date, these vibrant lacquer dials were produced in very small numbers for other models, making this Lady Datejust a genuinely rare find. This reference 6917 combines the classic Lady Datejust case with a deep red "Oxblood" dial, shifting the watch from a daily classic into a piece of wearable art. The full 18K yellow gold construction elevates it even further, creating a powerful statement of vintage luxury.
Solid Gold, Strong Color
This is not a subtle watch. The combination of a solid 18K yellow gold case and a matching President bracelet provides a significant and luxurious presence on the wrist. The "Oxblood" dial is the centerpiece, a rich, glossy surface that contrasts sharply with the warmth of the gold. This configuration was for a client who wanted the reliability of a Datejust but demanded a watch with far more personality than the standard champagne or silver dials could offer. It is a confident and uncommon execution of a Rolex icon.
A Well Preserved And Striking Example
The watch is in very good condition. The 18K yellow gold case is strong, and the fluted bezel remains well-defined. Most importantly, the rare Stella dial is in excellent condition, showing none of the cracks or fractures that these delicate lacquer dials can be prone to. The 18K yellow gold President bracelet is in good overall condition, showing some stretch consistent with its age but retaining its classic structure. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Woman Who Wants More
This Lady Datejust works because it takes a universally recognized design and gives it a rare and coveted twist. It is for the collector who understands the significance of a Stella dial and appreciates finding one in a ladies' size. The combination of solid gold and the deep red color is timelessly bold, making as much sense today as it did in 1979. It is the right watch for someone who wants to wear a piece of Rolex history that stands apart from the crowd.

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!!!
