1989 Rolex Lady Datejust 69173 - Two-Tone Champagne Dial

Trade In
Details
The Definitive Everyday Classic
The Lady Datejust is a foundational piece in the Rolex catalog, establishing the standard for what a woman's luxury watch should be. It combines the brand's core technical innovations, like the automatically changing date and waterproof case, into a refined and enduring design. The two-tone combination of stainless steel and yellow gold is perhaps the most recognizable configuration, offering a balance of utility and style that has remained relevant for decades.
A Timeless And Versatile Combination
This 1989 example features the quintessential champagne sunburst dial, a configuration that has defined the Datejust since its earliest days. Paired with the 18K yellow gold fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet, it creates a look that is both traditional and confident. The 26mm case size is classic and proportionate, making it an easy and comfortable choice for daily wear in any setting, from casual to formal.
A Well Kept Example From The Period
The overall condition of this watch is very good. The case appears unpolished and is in very good condition, as is the dial. The crystal is excellent. The Jubilee bracelet has some very light sag, which is entirely consistent with a watch from this era. The lume on the dial and hands appears to have been redone at some point in its history. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Right Watch For Any Occasion
This is the right choice for someone who wants one great watch that works for everything. It carries the weight and recognition of the Rolex name in a package that is understated and elegant. The combination of steel and gold makes it versatile enough to pair with any jewelry, and its automatic movement provides modern reliability. It is a benchmark design that never feels out of place.

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….
