Rolex Datejust 26mm 69173

Categories: Rolex, Watches

The Rolex Datejust 26 Ref. 69173 with its elegant black dial and two-tone yellow gold and steel construction is a distinguished and highly coveted vintage timepiece, masterfully blending the robust versatility of steel with the warm prestige of 18k yellow gold. Produced in the 1980s, this 26mm watch features the iconic waterproof Oyster case, crafted from stainless steel and complemented by an 18k yellow gold fluted bezel that catches the light with every movement . The black dial is a study in classic elegance, offering a deep, sophisticated backdrop for the applied gold baton hour markers and the luminous Mercedes hands, ensuring optimal legibility. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the signature Cyclops lens, adds practical functionality without compromising the dial’s clean and balanced aesthetic .

At its heart beats the legendary in-house automatic Caliber 3035, a movement widely regarded as one of the finest and most robust ever produced by Rolex . Introduced in this generation, it features the innovative quickset date function for easy adjustment and offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, all while maintaining COSC chronometer certification for exceptional accuracy and enduring reliability . The watch is presented on the five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, which masterfully combines stainless steel links with 18k yellow gold center links, celebrated for its exceptional comfort and elegant taper, and secured by a folding Oyster clasp . Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and housed within a hermetically sealed Oyster case with a screw-down crown, the Datejust 69173 offers a practical 100-meter water resistance . A true collector’s piece, this reference represents a perfect synthesis of vintage charm, iconic two-tone design, and enduring Rolex quality, making it a treasured heirloom for generations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased my first watch with guidance from Derek at Wolvyn's in Legacy East Shopping Center. I was impressed with Derek's knowledge of the market and all brands of premium watches. I chose the Omega Speedmaster Professional which was in pristine condition they had in store. Included original box, warranty and paperwork.  Checkout their website for an impressive selection of all the top watch makers. Get ready Derek for i have my eye on my next selection!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Josh after being referred to him by a friend and he was incredibly responsive.  He called me on a Saturday within minutes of me sending him a text.  He was patient in answering all of my questions and sourced an unworn Rolex watch I wanted within 24 hours.  Josh and Wolvyn are the best!
