1990 Rolex Lady Datejust 69173 - Two-Tone Champagne Tapestry Dial

Trade In
Details
The Foundational Two-Tone Rolex
The two-tone Lady Datejust is one of the most recognizable watches ever produced. For decades, it has served as the definitive entry point into luxury, a design that is both foundational to the brand and timeless on the wrist. This reference 69173 from 1990 captures the essence of that legacy. It pairs the strength of stainless steel with the warmth of 18-karat yellow gold, creating a look that is versatile enough for daily wear and elegant enough for any occasion.
A Dial With Subtle Distinction
While the two-tone combination is classic, the Champagne Tapestry dial offers a subtle layer of distinction. The fine vertical lines create a textured surface that catches the light differently than a standard sunburst finish. It adds a sense of depth and intentionality to the design without being loud. This detail elevates the watch beyond a simple champagne dial, rewarding closer inspection.
An Honest And Well-Kept Example
This example is in very good condition. The case is strong, appears unpolished, and the champagne dial is clean. Its two-tone Jubilee bracelet shows some light sag, a natural and expected sign of wear for a watch of this era. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Everyday Classic
This watch works because it is the definition of a classic. The 26mm size is discreet and comfortable, while the combination of gold and steel makes it easy to pair with any other jewelry. It is the right choice for someone who wants one great watch that is instantly recognizable, effortlessly stylish, and built to last a lifetime.

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….
