It is classic, versatile, and instantly recognizable. This example, however, is elevated by its factory blue vignette diamond dial. The color fades from a rich, deep blue at the center to a stark black at the outer edge, creating a dramatic backdrop for the diamond indices. It is a configuration that moves the watch beyond the everyday and into something with significantly more visual impact.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Power Of Contrast And Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat makes this particular dial so effective is the combination of color and proportion. On the 26mm case, the diamond indices appear larger and more prominent than they would on a full-size model. The intense contrast between the bright blue center, the black perimeter, and the brilliant diamonds creates a depth that pulls the eye in. This is not just a different colorway, but a dial designed to maximize the brilliance of its materials.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Clean Example From The Mid Eighties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 1985 example is in very good condition. The unpolished two-tone case and Jubilee bracelet show honest wear consistent with a watch of its era, but retain their strong lines. The 18K yellow gold fluted bezel is sharp, and the blue vignette dial is clean. The Jubilee bracelet carries some expected stretch for its age but remains comfortable and secure on the wrist. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor The Woman Who Wants More\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is the right watch for someone who loves the timeless appeal of the two-tone Datejust but wants an execution with more personality. The blue vignette dial is confident and expressive, a significant step up from the more common champagne and silver options. It offers the same reliability and daily wearability of any Datejust, but with a dial that makes a much stronger statement.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69173\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lady Datejust\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26mm (Excluding Crown)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold Fluted\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-Tone Jubilee\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits up to 6.25in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Vignette With Diamond Indices\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold \u0026amp; Stainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1685\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55642390724899,"sku":"11685","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF9875.jpg?v=1790179381","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1985-rolex-lady-datejust-69173-two-tone-blue-vignette-diamond-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
