1991 Rolex Datejust 69173 - Two-Tone Champagne Arabic Dial

Trade In
Details

The Definitive Rolex Design

The Datejust is the foundation of the Rolex catalog. For decades, the two-tone combination of stainless steel and yellow gold, paired with a fluted bezel and a Jubilee bracelet, has been the most recognizable watch design in the world. It is the standard by which all other daily-wear luxury watches are judged. This example from 1991 represents the classic 26mm proportion that defined the ladies' collection for generations.

A Clean And Timeless Execution

What sets this particular Datejust apart is its sharp preservation and classic configuration. The champagne stick dial is clean, legible, and versatile, pairing perfectly with the warmth of the yellow gold. It avoids trends, sticking to the core elements that have made the model a permanent fixture in the industry. It’s a straightforward and honest take on a watch that needs no introduction.

Excellent Condition And Structure

This watch is in very good overall condition. The case is sharp, and the dial and hands are perfect and matching. A key highlight is the two-tone Jubilee bracelet, which shows zero sag or stretch. This is uncommon for a watch of this era and speaks to how well it has been maintained. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

An Enduring Choice

This is the right watch for someone who wants the most essential Rolex experience. The 26mm size offers a classic, jewelry-like presence on the wrist that remains comfortable and understated. It’s a design that has proven its staying power for over seventy-five years, and it works just as well today as it did in 1991. This is a perfect choice for a first Rolex or a cornerstone piece for a growing collection.

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….
