Rolex Datejust 6517 Description
Reference 6517 is a vintage Lady-Datejust model produced from approximately 1962 through the early 1970s, representing a classic execution of the 26mm ladies’ chronometer. It is powered by the Rolex Caliber 1135 (preceded by the Cal. 1130), a robust, non-quickset automatic movement. The technical specification typically denotes a ‘Yellow Rolesor’ construction, combining a stainless steel Oyster case with a solid 18k yellow gold fluted bezel. A common technical feature of the dial on this reference is the ‘pie-pan’ configuration. The significance of the Ref. 6517 lies in its role in solidifying the Lady-Datejust as a pillar of the Rolex catalog.
