Rolex Datejust Lady Ref. 69160

The Rolex Datejust Lady from 1996.

The name Rolex resonates throughout history as a symbol of unwavering precision, durability, and prestige. Since its founding in 1905, the brand has dominated the watchmaking world with innovations like the Oyster waterproof system and the self-winding perpetual movement. Owning a Rolex is more than just owning a watch; it’s wearing a piece of watchmaking history and a recognition of timeless quality.

The Rolex Datejust Lady reference 69160 from 1996 embodies this heritage in a refined feminine format. This watch exemplifies the classic elegance for which the brand is renowned, yet holds a unique position within the Datejust family.

Crafted entirely in stainless steel, Rolex’s superior oyster steel, the 69160 is often one of the most affordable all-steel vintage Rolex models. It’s the perfect entry into the world of Rolex ownership, without sacrificing class or recognition. What sets this reference apart is the smooth, polished bezel. Unlike the flamboyant fluted bezels or bezels, the 69160 offers a sleek, minimalist look that focuses on its iconic design. Inside, ticks the reliable automatic caliber 2135, featuring the signature date display beneath the cyclops lens, a Rolex innovation that magnifies the date by 2.5 times.

This particular example from 1996 has stood the test of time with flying colors and comes complete with its original box and papers. When such a historic piece surfaces, the role of specialists is crucial.

At AWCo (Amsterdam Watch Company), the 69160 is received with the utmost care and expertise. AWCo understands that the value of a vintage Rolex lies not only in the metal, but also in its complete, verifiable history. By guaranteeing its authenticity and providing the watch with the appropriate service, AWCo ensures that this classic Datejust Lady is not only a beautiful heirloom but also a reliable companion for its new owner. It’s a watch ready to add a new chapter to the Rolex legend.

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!
