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 69173, dates to circa 1989 and remains in very good, untouched condition throughout. It features an 18K yellow gold case and stainless steel construction with a fluted yellow gold bezel, a champagne Tritium Tapestry dial with applied indices and a matching handset, and a two-tone Jubilee bracelet with a signed blade claps.  Furthermore, this piece comes with its 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.
