Reference 69173 is the two-tone Rolesor expression of the classic 26mm ladies Datejust, produced from the mid-1980s through the late 1990s in Rolex's 9-million serial range. It represents the Datejust at its most feminine and versatile, pairing an Oyster steel case with 18k yellow gold on the bezel, crown, and Jubilee bracelet center links. The 69173 specifically carries the sapphire crystal that replaced the earlier acrylic, and Rolex's full Superlative Chronometer certification, meaning the movement was tested beyond COSC standards before leaving Geneva. For collectors of ladies vintage Rolex, this is one of the cleaner references to find in genuine factory configuration.
The champagne dial on this example is a warm, honey-toned finish that reads beautifully alongside the yellow gold bezel and the alternating gold and steel Jubilee links. Index hour markers sit cleanly around the dial face, and the date window appears at three o'clock as expected on any Datejust. Vision inspection confirms the dial and bezel are free of obvious damage, the crown is present and intact, and the case back shows a proper Oyster screw-down with the Rolex crown logo clearly visible. The bracelet shows light surface wear consistent with normal use, and the clasp area has some age-related patina typical of a watch in this serial range. Nothing that detracts from wearability. Overall the piece presents very well for its age.
The 26mm two-tone Datejust occupies a specific place in a collection: small enough to read as a refined dress watch on nearly any wrist, bold enough with the gold bezel and Jubilee bracelet to make an impression. It pairs naturally with everything from a casual weekend look to formal evening wear. For someone searching for a first Rolex with a timeless two-tone configuration, or a collector filling out a vintage ladies reference, the 69173 in champagne is a genuinely appealing option at a fair price point.
Each piece is fully inspected and authenticated by Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton.
