Trade In
Details
Warm Monochromatic Depth And Classical Roman Geometry
The centerpiece of this example is its champagne sunburst dial, which diffuses light across soft radial gradients. Applied 18k yellow gold Roman numerals line the perimeter, providing an authoritative, classical structure that elevates the design beyond standard baton indices. Framed by golden tones that flow directly into the surrounding Yellow Rolesor architecture, the monochromatic palette creates a seamless visual harmony across the 26mm plane.
Full Collector Package With Original Papers
Beyond its classic execution, this reference 69173 stands out for its exceptional completeness as a surviving set. Accompanied by its original Rolex warranty paperwork, green picture hang tag, and red seal tag, the watch retains documentation rarely preserved across thirty-five years. This full historical scope offers rare insight into early 1990s retail delivery, anchoring its identity within a peak period of neo-vintage manufacturing.
Preserved Mid-Century Case Architecture
Condition: Good. The 26mm stainless steel case and 18k gold fluted bezel retain sharp geometric lines, crisp facet transitions, and an authentic profile alongside its original signed crown. The two-tone Jubilee bracelet demonstrates honest, natural stretch appropriate for a 1990 piece, wearing with supple flexibility on the wrist. Inside, the self-winding automatic caliber with quickset date functionality has been fully bench-tested for operational health.
The Defining Standard Of Two-Tone Luxury
Introduced in 1957, the Lady-Datejust adapted Rolex's self-winding chronometer into a delicate proportion engineered for daily versatility. Reference 69173 represents the pinnacle of this lineage, merging the structural resilience of stainless steel with the warm elegance of 18k yellow gold. By anchoring the signature Oyster architecture with a five-link Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, this generation established the definitive benchmark for twentieth-century women's horology.
