Rolex Lady Datejust 'Tapestry'

It is perhaps one of the greatest injustices in horology that women's wristwatches have not historically received the same respect as their larger cased counterparts, resulting in far fewer executions worth collecting.  This is truly a shame - but fortunately, Rolex got the memo long before most, and have been producing outstanding ladies watches for over 50 years. And we're talking about the real thing - not those that utilize faux-gold, not-so-precious stones and batteries - Rolex's offerings are mechanical, functional, wearable art. This Lady Datejust, a Reference 79173, dates to circa 2002 and featuring an 18K yellow gold and stainless steel construction, a fluted yellow gold bezel, and a silver Tapestry Tritium dial with applied yellow gold indices and a matching handset. It comes fitted to a matching yellow gold and stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with signed blade clasp. Furthermore, this piece remains in fantastic condition throughout and is accompanied by its full kit! Checking all of the boxes as its larger brothers, this lovely piece can easily be worn as a dress watch or a demure daily driver for the lady who knows what proper watches are all about.
