ROLEX Datejust Lady – Ref. 69178 – 18k Yellow Gold – Aftermarket Diamond Bezel – 1989 - Excellent Condition

We are proud to present this exquisite Rolex Datejust Lady, Reference 69178 - a masterpiece of horological elegance that captures the glamour and precision of the late 1980s. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, this 1989 example transcends simple timekeeping, serving as a statement of enduring style and mechanical excellence.

The centerpiece of this reference is its 26 mm Oyster case, cast in solid 18k yellow gold, offering a radiant warmth that only high-purity gold can provide. Elevating its presence further is the magnificent diamond-studded bezel (non Rolex), where     each stone has been meticulously set to catch the light from every angle. This brilliant framing transforms the classic Datejust silhouette into a piece of fine jewelry that remains robust enough for daily wear.

The original dial maintains a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, perfectly complementing the opulence of the gold and diamonds. It features the iconic date window at 3 o'clock, magnified by the signature Cyclops lens - a hallmark of Rolex utility. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the face of the watch remains as crisp today as it was three decades ago.

Beneath the surface beats the Rolex Caliber 2135, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its remarkable reliability and COSC-certified precision. Despite its diminutive size, this caliber is widely regarded by watchmakers as one of the sturdiest and most accurate movements ever produced for a lady's timepiece, ensuring that this 1989 model performs with contemporary dependability.

The watch is fitted with its original 18k yellow gold President bracelet, characterized by its semi-circular three-piece links. This bracelet is the pinnacle of Rolex craftsmanship, offering a seamless, supple feel on the wrist and a concealed Crownclasp that completes the uninterrupted golden aesthetic.
