1982 Rolex Lady Datejust President 6917 - 18K Yellow Gold Tiger Eye Dial

Details
A Classic In Natural Stone
The Lady-Datejust President in solid 18K gold is a foundational icon of the Rolex catalog. This example, however, is elevated by its factory Tiger Eye dial. Stone dials represent a specific and more ambitious era of Rolex production, where organic, fragile materials were cut into perfect discs for dials. Each one is entirely unique due to the natural grain of the mineral, giving the watch a character that a standard metallic dial can never replicate.
Exceptional Preservation And Finish
This piece from 1982 stands out for its remarkable state of preservation. The gold case features prominent, fat lugs, suggesting it has avoided any significant polishing over its life. This is further supported by the Presidential bracelet, which retains its original two-texture factory finish on the links. For a gold watch of this age to present this sharply is uncommon and speaks to a life of careful ownership.
Excellent Condition With A Minor Detail
This watch is in truly excellent, near like-new condition. The case and bracelet are both exceptionally sharp, and the Presidential bracelet is tight with no sag. The Tiger Eye dial has a single hairline crack that follows the natural lines of the stone and is largely unnoticeable to the naked eye, becoming visible only under high magnification. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
More Than Just A Gold Watch
While a gold President is a statement of prestige, this example offers something more distinctive. The Tiger Eye dial introduces a warmth and depth that complements the yellow gold, giving the watch a unique character. It's an execution of a classic, instantly recognizable design, but with a detail that sets it apart from more common variants.
