ROLEX Lady-Datejust – Ref. 69088 – 18ct Yellow Gold – Blue Vignette Diamond Dial – Factory Diamond / Sapphire Bezel – Box – Bj 1989 – Fresh In-house Service

We are proud to present this breathtaking and rare Rolex Lady-Datejust, Reference 69088 - a spectacular example of Rolex’s high-jewelry artistry from the late 1980s. This particular piece, dating to 1989, represents the ultimate in opulence, combining the warmth of solid 18ct yellow gold with a mesmerizing array of precious gemstones.

Housed in a 26 mm Oyster case crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold, the Ref. 69088 is distinguished by its magnificent factory gem-set bezel. The brilliant-cut diamonds are punctated by four vibrant blue sapphires at the cardinal hours (3, 6, 9, and 12), creating a regal frame for the dial within. 

The defining characteristic of this example is the "Blue Vignette“ dial - a stunning gradient that transitions from a vivid royal blue at the center to a deep, midnight black at the edges. This rare dial is further elevated by ten brilliant-cut diamond hour markers set in 18ct gold chatons, offering a depth and brilliance that is truly captivating.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 2135, a self-winding movement renowned for its robust construction and chronometer-grade precision. As one of the most reliable movements ever produced for the Lady-Datejust line, it ensures that this 1989 model remains a functional masterpiece of timekeeping.

The watch is fitted with its original 18ct yellow gold President bracelet with a concealed Crownclasp, completing the seamless, jewelry-like appearance on the wrist. Accompanied by its original box, this Reference 69088 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and highly collectible piece of Rolex history.
