Rolex Datejust 69168

Reference 69168 is the smooth-bezel, solid gold model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 69xxx series, produced from approximately 1983 to 1999. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135, the first COSC-certified Rolex ladies’ caliber. The technical specification denotes a 26mm Oyster case constructed from solid 18k yellow gold (8), fitted with a smooth, domed bezel (16 code). A key technical variant is the crystal, which transitioned from acrylic to sapphire in the mid-1990s. Its significance lies in its status as a minimalist yet luxurious timepiece, representing the final generation of the classic acrylic-crystal smooth-bezel gold Lady-Datejusts.
