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 1985 and features an excellent 18K yellow gold case and stainless steel construction with a fluted yellow gold bezel, a sunburst champagne Tritium dial with applied indices and a matching handset, and a matching two-tone Jubilee bracelet with a signed blade clasp.

Furthermore, this piece comes with a bunch of goodies!

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.
