Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Datejust 26 reference 69173, produced in 1988, embodies the enduring design language of the Datejust in a more compact format. This example combines the familiar date display with a steel-and-gold construction, lending it the restrained two-tone character long associated with the line. Its 26mm diameter positions it as a traditional ladies’ Datejust, while the crisp white dial ensures a clear and versatile presentation.

The automatic movement provides the practical convenience expected from a Datejust, and its sapphire crystal offers robust protection for the dial. The steel-and-gold bracelet, secured by a folding clasp, contributes to the comfortable and secure wearing experience. With its compact case, white dial, and balanced combination of materials, the 69173 remains an immediately recognisable expression of the Datejust design.

For collectors, this reference offers a concise example of Rolex’s established date-watch formula: a legible everyday display, automatic operation, and a distinctive two-tone bracelet and case. This specific example, offered as a complete full set, further enhances its appeal as a comprehensive vintage Rolex package from the late 1980s.
