When Rolex introduced a smaller, 26mm version for women in 1957, it established a new standard of elegance and utility. The reference 69173, produced from the early 1980s through the late 1990s, represents a core era for the model, blending classic proportions with the robust engineering of its time. This two-tone execution, combining stainless steel and yellow gold, is the most recognizable and enduring configuration, a symbol of quiet luxury that has remained relevant for decades.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Classic And Enduring Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example from 1987 captures the essence of the five-digit Datejust era. The 26mm case is perfectly balanced by the signature 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, an element originally designed for function that became a hallmark of Rolex design. The silver sunburst dial provides a clean, bright backdrop that shifts with the light, offering a more versatile and understated alternative to the common champagne dial. Paired with the iconic Jubilee bracelet, the watch presents a unified and thoughtful design that is comfortable, elegant, and unmistakably Rolex.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Honest Example From A Key Era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is in good overall condition.
