Rolex Datejust 69079

Reference 69079 is an exceptionally rare decorative model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 69xxx series, produced from approximately 1983 to 1999. Its technical specification denotes a case constructed from 18k white gold (9) with the 07 configuration, which specifies a bezel with a hand-applied ‘bark’ finish. This texture was also typically applied to the center links of the 18k white gold President bracelet. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135. The significance of the Ref. 69079 lies in its extreme rarity, as the application of the organic ‘bark’ texture to the cool, monochromatic white gold medium created a timepiece with a unique and subtle character.
