1999 Rolex Lady Datejust 79173 - Two-Tone White Pyramid Roman Dial

Trade In
Details
A More Deliberate Dial
The two-tone Lady Datejust is a foundation of the Rolex catalog, but certain dial configurations elevate the watch into a different class. This example features a white "Pyramid" dial, a textured pattern that adds significant visual depth without sacrificing legibility. Paired with applied Roman numerals, it transforms the watch from a simple classic into a more considered piece of design. It represents a period where Rolex was confident enough to add subtle texture to its most iconic models.
The Best Of Both Eras
This 1999 example sits in the perfect middle ground for the Lady Datejust. It has the modern reliability of a sapphire crystal and a robust automatic movement, but it retains the classic 26mm proportions that define the reference. The combination of the 18K fluted bezel and the two-tone Jubilee bracelet is the quintessential look, making the unique dial the clear focal point of an otherwise timeless design.
A Well-Preserved Example
This example is in very good condition. The two-tone case is well-defined, and the crystal is clean. The Jubilee bracelet shows very little sag, a strong sign of preservation for a watch of this era. The patterned dial is clean and its texture remains sharp. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
An Elevated Everyday Choice
This is the right watch for someone who appreciates the history and reliability of the Lady Datejust but wants a version with more personality. The pyramid dial is a subtle detail that rewards a closer look, setting it apart from more common configurations. It is a watch that works in any setting, offering the immediate recognition of a Rolex with a layer of texture that makes it feel more personal.

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….
