Rolex Datejust 69188 Description

Reference 69188 is a factory gem-set model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 69xxx series, produced from approximately 1983 to 1999. Its technical specification denotes a case constructed from 18k yellow gold (8) with the 18 configuration code, which specifies a factory-set brilliant-cut diamond bezel (typically 44 diamonds). This reference served as a premier offering, often paired with high-end dials such as full pavé diamond or mother-of-pearl. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135. A technical variant exists in the crystal material, which transitioned from acrylic to sapphire in the mid-1990s. The significance of the Ref. 69188 lies in its status as a top-tier luxury offering, combining the COSC-certified Cal. 2135 with a solid gold and diamond construction.
