Rolex Vintage Oyster Perpetual Lady‑Datejust Diamond Dial 69178 26mm (1990)

The Rolex classic feminine watch par excellence. With its refined glamour, style and technical performance. This Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust in 18 ct yellow gold features a champagne colour, diamond-set dial and a President bracelet.

”A classic timepiece, designed for a lady.” This is how some may describe our Oyster Perpetual Lady‑Datejust.  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-Datejust is, indeed, a classic timepiece designed for a lady.

This dial features diamonds in 18 ct gold settings and a Roman IX in 18 ct gold, set with 8 diamonds. The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial. Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.
