Rolex Datejust Lady Ref.6917

The Lady Datejust, still today, remains the best selling watch the brand has ever produced.

The reasons are fairly straightforward. Rolex saw no need to reinvent the wheel with the lady’s version of their hugely popular creation. The men’s Datejust was the only watch most people would ever realistically need, and all that was really required was to make it smaller so it would better suit a female wrist. Other than that—functionality, styling, engineering prowess, selection—they could all mirror the bigger model.

Unlike the contemporary range of Lady Datejusts, the smallest of which has grown to 28mm since 2015, the ref. 69XX series was only ever made at 26mm.

When the ref. 6917 arrived, it contained the Cal. 2035, very much a scaled down version of the engine inside the 36mm Datejust of the time, the Cal. 1565 (and later, the Cal. 1575).

Our Datejust Lady is in perfect condition, arrives serviced and with a vintage burgundy allogator strap.
