Rolex Datejust 69018

Reference 69018 is a rare, decorative factory-configured model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 69xxx series, produced from approximately 1983 to 1999. Its technical specification denotes a case constructed from 18k yellow gold (8) with the unique 01 configuration. This code specifies a ‘Florentine’ finish on the bezel. This artisanal texture consists of a series of fine, cross-hatched lines, hand-applied with a diamond-tipped tool, creating a sophisticated, fabric-like effect. This finish was often extended to the center links of the President bracelet for a fully integrated design. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135, historically significant as the first Rolex ladies’ caliber to achieve COSC chronometer certification.
