RolexDatejust 26mm Rare Pyramide Dial 1998 Watch

Q: What model and year is this Rolex?
A: This is a Rolex Datejust with a 26 mm case and reference number 69173. The year recorded in the product information is 1998, and its country of origin is Switzerland.

Q: What makes the Pyramide dial distinctive?
A: The pyramid dial has a decorative geometric texture rather than a plain finish. This watch is listed with a white dial and described as a rare Pyramide dial model.

Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: The bracelet is listed as fitting a wrist measuring 17.5 cm or smaller. The 26 mm case offers a compact look. If your wrist is significantly smaller, ask about bracelet adjustment before purchasing; suitability for a larger wrist is not confirmed.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This pre-owned watch is in very good overall condition, with light traces of use. Its internal condition is also rated very good. Scratches and marks are noted on the case and bracelet, so it should not be expected to look unworn.

Q: Does this Rolex need a battery?
A: No. Reference 69173 uses an automatic mechanical movement rather than a battery-powered quartz movement. Wrist movement winds the mechanism during wear; if its stored energy runs down while unworn, it will need winding and resetting.

Q: Does it come with a box, papers or other accessories?
A: No accessories are included according to the product information. Do not expect a box, original papers or additional bracelet links to accompany this watch.

Q: Can I swim or shower while wearing this watch?
A: The current water resistance of this particular watch is not confirmed in the product information. Do not assume that its original specification still applies. Keep it out of water unless a qualified watchmaker has tested it and confirmed which activities are suitable.

Q: Has this watch been serviced recently?
A: A service date or service history is not provided. The very good internal condition rating does not establish that a recent full service has been completed. Ask for any available service records and have a qualified watchmaker advise on maintenance.

Q: How should I clean and care for this vintage Rolex?
A: For routine surface care, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. As its current water resistance is unconfirmed, avoid immersing it or washing it under running water. A qualified watchmaker can advise on deeper cleaning and check the case, bracelet and seals.
