A Golden Era of Rolex. The Lady-Datejust President.
The Iconic Legacy
There are few watches that capture the elegance and prestige of Rolex quite like a solid gold Lady-Datejust on a President bracelet.
Introduced in 1957, the Lady-Datejust brought the celebrated Datejust design into a smaller, more refined format, combining the reliability of a self-winding chronometer with the elegance of a precious-metal watch.
By the 1990s, the collection had become a symbol of understated luxury, particularly in solid 18ct yellow gold. The combination of a beautifully proportioned Oyster case, fluted bezel and President bracelet created a watch that felt as much like a piece of fine jewellery as a precision timepiece.
This 1995 reference 69178 is a particularly attractive example, featuring a white Roman numeral dial with original Rolex factory-set diamond hour markers.
It’s a classic expression of the neo-vintage era of Rolex, when smaller watches, precious metals and beautifully detailed dials defined the brand’s more elegant collections.
Why You’ll Love It
The first thing you notice about this Lady-Datejust is the richness of the yellow gold. Unlike the more familiar steel and gold combinations, everything here is 18ct gold, from the Oyster case and fluted bezel to the beautifully finished President bracelet.
The bracelet is a particularly important part of its appeal. Its distinctive three-piece semicircular links create a wonderfully fluid appearance around the wrist, combining the presence of solid gold with the elegance of a fine piece of jewellery.
Then there’s the dial. The crisp white background provides a beautiful contrast to the gold Roman numerals and original factory-set diamond hour markers. It’s a sophisticated combination, offering just enough sparkle without losing the classic appearance of a traditional Rolex Datejust.
At 26mm, the watch has the delicate proportions that made the original Lady-Datejust so successful. It sits elegantly on a smaller wrist, with a timeless appearance that works equally well for everyday wear or more formal occasions.
This particular example is presented in exceptional neo-vintage condition and has just undergone a complete mechanical service. That’s an important consideration when buying a neo-vintage solid gold Rolex, as the expense of servicing has already been taken care of.
Accompanied by its original Rolex presentation box, it offers an opportunity to own a beautifully preserved solid gold Lady-Datejust at a particularly attractive price.
Iconic Status
The Lady-Datejust has been part of the Rolex collection for almost seventy years, and its enduring appeal is closely connected to the brand’s reputation for combining fine watchmaking with elegant design.
Reference 69178 belongs to an important generation of the collection, powered by Rolex’s automatic Calibre 2135. Introduced during the late 1980s, this movement brought chronometer-certified performance to the smaller Lady-Datejust models and remained an important part of Rolex’s ladies’ watchmaking for many years.
The solid gold President bracelet adds another layer of distinction. Originally introduced with the Day-Date in 1956, its distinctive design became closely associated with Rolex’s most prestigious precious-metal watches.
On the Lady-Datejust, the President bracelet creates a particularly elegant combination, giving the watch a jewellery-like quality while retaining the recognisable design language of the Rolex Oyster case.
The factory-set diamond dial is another desirable feature. Original Rolex diamond-set dials offer a level of refinement and authenticity that collectors increasingly appreciate, particularly when paired with an entirely precious-metal configuration.
For anyone who appreciates the elegance of traditional Rolex watchmaking, this 1995 example brings together many of the details that made the Lady-Datejust such a successful and enduring design.
