This ladies solid gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust is as stylish as it is iconic.  Model reference 6917.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number between the bottom lugs we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1979.

CONDITION

The Datejust was launched in 1945, and has proved to be the backbone of Rolex sales ever since.  It took them another 12 years to launch the ladies version and, like the gents model, they have undergone continual and gradual improvements over the years.  But if we concentrate on the ref 6917 here we have a chronometer rated automatic movement, instant date change at midnight, open 6 and 9 numbers on the calendar, and the screw down crown that gives the Oyster case its resistance to water.  This watch would originally been supplied on a gold bracelet, but over the years this has been replaced and it now has a quality leather strap and original Rolex buckle.  This does help tone down the watch, and we can supply a gold plated steel jubilee style bracelet if you prefer the bracelet look (pictured).  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred but not sure what would work better with the black dial than the black strap?  The box has the cardboard outer and wooden inner sections, and is in good shape.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
