Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this Rolex Datejust and how does it wear? A: This is the classic 26 mm Lady-Datejust size, which gives it a refined vintage look on the wrist. Compared with modern 28 mm Lady-Datejust models, it wears slightly smaller and more delicate, making it ideal if you prefer traditional ladies’ Rolex proportions.
Q: What wrist size will it fit? A: The listed bracelet perimeter is 16.5 cm. Fit can vary slightly depending on how closely you like a watch to sit, so it is best to compare that measurement with a watch you already wear comfortably.
Q: What materials are used on reference 69174? A: Reference 69174 is typically known for a stainless steel case and bracelet paired with a fluted white-gold bezel. This example is listed with a stainless steel case, Jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, and a champagne dial with diamond hour markers.
Q: Does it have an automatic movement and quickset date? A: The 69174 is generally associated with Rolex calibre 2135, a self-winding movement with a quickset date. That means the date can usually be adjusted via the crown without turning the hands through repeated 24-hour cycles.
Q: Does this model have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes, the 69174 is commonly associated with a sapphire crystal and the magnified date window at 3 o’clock. Sapphire is more scratch-resistant than acrylic, which is one reason later vintage Datejust models remain so practical for regular wear.
Q: Can I wear this watch every day, including in water? A: Datejust models were designed with an Oyster case and a water-resistance rating of 100 metres when in proper condition, but with any vintage watch it is wise to be cautious around water unless it has been recently pressure-tested. Always make sure the crown is fully screwed down before wear.
Q: Is bracelet stretch something to think about on a vintage Jubilee bracelet? A: Yes. On older Jubilee bracelets, looseness can develop over time through long-term wear. This listing describes the watch as being in very good condition with minimal scratches at the case and bracelet, but if bracelet tightness matters to you, it is worth reviewing the photos closely and requesting extra measurements if needed.
Q: Are the diamond hour markers original to the watch? A: The product information describes a champagne dial with diamond hour markers. On vintage Datejust models, diamond dials can be factory-original or later replacements in the secondary market, so if dial originality is especially important to you, it is sensible to request confirmation before purchase.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: It is listed in very good condition, with minimal scratches at the case and bracelet, plus shiny hardware with light scratches. That is consistent with a well-kept vintage Rolex showing gentle signs of age rather than appearing unworn.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: No additional product information is included with this piece. If original box, papers, service records, or spare links are important to you, it is best to check before purchasing.
