Rolex lady Datejust ref.69173

A classic for the ladies! For many years, we think this is the most wanted Rolex for women. The interesting thing is that Rolex stopped producing these 26 mm women’s models in 2015 and switched to larger sizes. Such a pity  we think the 26 mm Lady-Datejust is the most refined and elegant version of the Lady-Datejust.

So much detail in such a small case it wears like a jewel on the wrist, yet still has the same quality and strong look of the classic Datejust. We understand why so many people love this piece; it is in high demand. Especially now that Rolex has stopped production of the 26 mm size, they will become harder to source and find in good condition.

Here we have one from the 1980s in the perfect classic combination: a steel and gold case on a steel and gold Jubilee bracelet with a champagne-colored dial. This is exactly how this configuration should be  the most classic combination you can get. Enjoy!

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic watch designs ever made. We try not to use the term “iconic” too liberally, but it is surely justified here. Launched back in 1945 as the Ref. 4467, the design has been only marginally updated every now and then. And it has looked fresh and current ever since.

When it comes to vintage, two generations of Datejust are particularly popular; the Ref. 16xx and the later five-digit references. The 16xx models were made from the fifties until  roughly 1978 and feature a beautifully dimensional pie-pan dial. Many of these came on folded jubilee bracelets and they did not yet feature a quickset date.

When the reference was updated to five digits around 1978, the pie-pan dial was replaced by a flat dial. The caliber was updated to now feature a quickset date. A decade later, in 1988, a new update saw the introduction of a sapphire crystal. For us, this is where vintage Datejust becomes modern Datejust.

Countless variations can be found. Different bezels, bracelets, dial colors, sizes and materials. The Datejust is one of the most beloved and versatile watches around. If you are looking for a one-watch-collection, that works equally well with shorts as it does with a three-piece suit, the Datejust is probably a pretty safe bet!
