Rolex Vintage Ladies OP Date 6916 (1981)

Since its inception, Rolex has always shown great ambition. In the early part of the 20th century, it believed wristwatches should benefit from the most advanced technology and be as reliable and accurate as the pocket watch, then the standard personal timepiece. Being able to produce the small, precise movements needed for wristwatches was a challenge that would serve Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf’s vision. Wristwatches then were perceived as fragile items of jewellery for women, but he was determined to offer women, as much as men, a choice of modern, dependable wristwatches.

“A classic timepiece, designed for a lady.”

This is how some may describe the Oyster Perpetual Lady‑Date. Maybe they’re right. Since the early 20th century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for the wrists of every woman, with the same standard of excellence as all the models that have built its legend. So, if “classic” means always pursuing a higher standard, if it means perpetuating tradition while combining elegance with precision, grace with resistance, beauty with performance… then the Lady-Date is, indeed, a classic timepiece designed for a lady.

Please note, there is a small scratch on the glass and this piece has engraving on the caseback.
