Here we have a 1990 Rolex Lady-Datejust 26mm Steel & Gold Factory Diamonds, reference 69173. This striking, classic timepiece features a 26mm stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold case, showcasing a timeless, elegant silhouette. The sophisticated case architecture features polished sides and a structural factory diamond set gold bezel, offering a delicate lug-to-lug length of 32.5mm and a slender thickness of 10.5mm for a powerful, graceful presence on the wrist. A signed 18ct yellow gold screw-down Twinlock crown. The standout feature of this model is its champagne dial, adorned with lovely, original factory-set diamond hour markers that highlight the watch's luxurious depth. The architectural layout features a date window at 3 o'clock, magnified by an integrated Cyclops lens on the crystal. Elegant gold hands are crafted for sharp legibility in all environments. Protecting this complex design is a beautiful, original factory-set diamond bezel holding a flat sapphire crystal. On the reverse, a solid screw-down caseback. Inside beats the proprietary Swiss-made automatic Calibre 2135, developed entirely by the renowned watchmakers at Rolex in Geneva, Switzerland.
