Rolex Datejust 69179

Reference 69179 is the solid white 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 Rolex ladies’ movement to achieve COSC chronometer certification. The technical specification denotes a 26mm Oyster case and President bracelet constructed from solid 18k white gold (9), fitted with a classic fluted bezel (17 configuration code). The monochromatic ‘white metal’ appearance provides a more understated expression of luxury. A key technical variant is the crystal, which transitioned from acrylic to sapphire in the mid-1990s. The Ref. 69179 is significant as a discreetly luxurious timepiece from a robust and technically important generation.
