Description
The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 with reference 6917 from 1978 is a timeless style icon of the vintage era, embodying the glamorous spirit of the late 70s in its purest form. Crafted entirely from solid 18-karat Yellow Gold, this reference represents the perfect symbiosis of classic Geneva watchmaking and feminine elegance. With its characteristic proportions, charming Acrylic Glass (“Plexiglas”) and fluted gold bezel, the Ref. 6917 is a coveted classic for collectors and enthusiasts of historic Rolex icons.
Classic 26 mm Oyster case in 18-karat Yellow Gold: The case impresses with warm gold tones, elegant curves and the drilled lugs (Lug Holes) typical of this era, which make changing the strap easier and emphasize its charming vintage character.
Iconic fluted bezel in 18-karat Yellow Gold: The precisely fluted gold bezel reflects the light in a fascinating way and gives the 26 mm case its unmistakable appearance.
Elegant champagne or sunburst dial: Available in classic shades such as radiant champagne gold, Silver or deep Black. The dial features applied baton hour markers in 18-karat Yellow Gold with matching hands.
Characteristic Plexiglas with Cyclops lens: Protected by a slightly raised, domed plastic crystal (Plexiglas/Hesalite crystal), which lends the dial special visual depth and a warm, historic aesthetic. The lens above the 3 o’clock position magnifies the date display two and a half times.
Proven in-house caliber 2030 (COSC-certified): The automatic Caliber 2030 chronometer movement beats inside. It is known for its exceptional robustness and reliability and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Screw-down Twinlock crown in 18-karat Yellow Gold: The screw-down winding crown with its dual sealing system, together with the hermetically screwed gold case back, provides the movement with proven protection against dust and moisture.
Practical water resistance (100m / 10 ATM): Despite its delicate vintage character, it offers reliable protection for everyday use.
Fine-link President or Jubilee bracelet in 18-karat Yellow Gold: The reference is worn either on the fine three-row President bracelet with concealed Crownclasp clasp or on the classic five-link Jubilee bracelet in solid Yellow Gold.
Coveted vintage classic (1978): Reference 6917 is regarded as the foundation of the modern success story of the Lady-Datejust - an elegant, value-retaining piece of jewellery with timeless historical relevance.
