Rolex Datejust 69198

Reference 69198 is a rare and highly decorative factory-configured 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 unique 19 configuration. This code specifies a deeply textured ‘nugget’ finish applied to the bezel. This artisanal, hand-hammered finish gives the surface an irregular, organic appearance and was typically extended to the center links of the President bracelet. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2135. The significance of the Ref. 69198 lies in its bold design, representing a more pronounced textured finish than the standard ‘bark’ models.
