Rolex Datejust 26mm Steel and White Gold 69174G Black Diamond Dial Aug 1999

The Rolex Datejust ref. 69174G is a refined expression of the iconic Datejust collection in its elegant ladies' 26mm configuration, blending the timeless proportions of a classic Rolex dress watch with the understated luxury of Rolesor White Gold—a distinguished combination of stainless steel and 18k white gold. This reference represents one of the most sought-after iterations of the ladies' Datejust, balancing wearability with an undeniable sense of occasion.

The dial of this example is set with diamond hour markers against a deep black background, creating a striking contrast that elevates the watch from everyday elegance to true fine jewelry status. Each diamond index catches light with exceptional brilliance, transforming the face of this 26mm timepiece into a constellation of refined detail. The date aperture at 3 o'clock, magnified by Rolex's signature Cyclops lens, provides practical legibility while remaining a defining hallmark of the Datejust line. The combination of the black dial and diamond indices makes this reference a particularly compelling choice for collectors who demand both sophistication and visual impact.

Powering this timepiece is the Rolex caliber 2135, a self-winding automatic movement engineered specifically for the ladies' Datejust collection. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer by Rolex, this caliber delivers precision timekeeping to exacting standards, offering a level of reliability and consistency that defines the brand's horological reputation. Its compact and refined architecture is entirely befitting of a watch of this stature.

Presented on the iconic Jubilee bracelet—Rolex's most elegant five-piece link configuration, first introduced alongside the original Datejust in 1945—this example offers exceptional wrist comfort and a luxurious drape that complements the refined character of the reference. This piece is offered in excellent condition accompanied by its original papers dated August 1999, adding meaningful provenance and collectible significance to an already distinguished example of the ladies' Rolex canon.
