Rolex Ladies Datejust (69173)

The Rolex Ladies Datejust (69173) is one of the most recognized timepieces in horological history, and this example presents the enduring two-tone configuration that defines the reference. The Oystersteel case is crowned by an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel, a hallmark of the Datejust lineage since its introduction. The ivory dial is dressed with gold Roman numeral hour markers at every position and matching gold dauphine hands, lending a warm, formal elegance that transitions effortlessly from day to evening. A Cyclops lens magnifies the date at 3 o'clock for easy reading, while the dial carries Rolex's "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" designation, confirming the movement meets the brand's stringent in-house precision standards. The five-link Jubilee bracelet — Rolex's signature alternating steel-and-gold design — completes the two-tone aesthetic with a refined, dressy profile. Reference 69173 is the ladies' 26mm iteration of the Datejust, a size category that has attracted generations of collectors who value both mechanical heritage and wearable elegance in one package.
