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.

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….
