1993 Rolex Lady Datejust 69173 - Two-Tone Champagne Tapestry Dial

Trade In
Details
A Classic Design With Added Depth
The Rolex Lady-Datejust is a cornerstone of the brand's catalog, establishing the standard for a woman's luxury watch since its debut in 1957. This two-tone reference 69173 from 1993 maintains all the essential codes, from the fluted bezel to the Jubilee bracelet. The key detail here is the champagne Tapestry dial, a more considered execution that adds vertical texture to the classic Datejust layout. This subtle finish gives the watch a distinct character that separates it from more common sunburst dials.
The Definitive Two-Tone Configuration
This example perfectly captures the appeal of a neo-vintage Rolex. The combination of stainless steel and yellow gold is timeless, pairing the durability of a tool watch with the warmth of a dress piece. The 26mm case size is classic and proportionate, offering a comfortable and elegant presence on the wrist that never feels overpowering. It is the definitive specification for a watch that is meant to be worn daily, across any occasion, without ever feeling out of place.
An Honest, Unpolished Example
This watch is in very good, unpolished condition. The case and matching Jubilee bracelet show honest wear consistent with their age, retaining their original factory lines. The bracelet has incredibly light sag, which is natural and expected for a piece from this era. Both the dial and crystal are clean and well-preserved. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Timeless, Not Trendy
The Lady-Datejust endures because it was never designed around a trend. It is a foundational piece, built on the principles of reliability, legibility, and versatility. This example, with its textured dial, is for the person who appreciates classic design but wants a detail that makes it their own. It works as a first serious watch or as a core piece in a larger collection, offering a level of heritage that modern equivalents cannot replicate.

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….
