Rolex Datejust 69163

Reference 69163 is the smooth-bezel Rolesor model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 69xxx series, produced from approximately 1983 to 1999. The technical specification ‘Yellow Rolesor’ (3) denotes a bi-metal construction, combining a steel case with solid 18k yellow gold on the crown, bracelet center links, and a smooth, polished bezel (16 code). The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135. A key technical variant is the crystal, which transitioned from acrylic to sapphire in the mid-1990s. The significance of the Ref. 69163 lies in its status as the understated alternative to the traditional fluted 69173.
