Vintage 1982 Rolex Ladies Datejust 6917 18K YG Auto Tiffany Buckley Dial 26mm

Bezel Color : Gold Movement : Mechanical (Automatic) Dial Pattern : Solid Indices : Roman Numerals Year Manufactured : 1980-1989 Vintage : Yes Band/Strap : Bracelet Reference Number : 6917 Brand : Rolex Case Color : Gold Type : Wristwatch Department : Women Band Color : Gold Band Material : Yellow Gold Bezel Type : Fluted Dial Color : Gold Watch Shape : Round Model : Rolex Datejust Style : Classic, Dress/Formal, Luxury Features : Date Indicator Case Size : 26 mm Case Material : Yellow Gold Country of Origin : Switzerland Display : Analog Hand picked by the Fifth Avenue legend Rolex and Tiffany & Co. shared a storied partnership that produced some of the most collectible watches in the vintage market. This reference 6913 is an exceptional example because it features the iconic Buckley dial, defined by its printed Roman numerals, which is rarely seen with a double signature. It is clear that this design was picked by Tiffany Curation for a good reason. It represents a precise moment in mid-century Rolex production where brand identity and retailer prestige were perfectly aligned. Preservation Of The Solid Gold Bracelet The defining physical trait of this piece is the 18k yellow gold Presidential bracelet. While many of these smaller gold watches were separated from their original bands over the decades or had the bracelets scrapped, this example remains intact as a cohesive unit. The way the bracelet integrates with the gold case creates a seamless, jewelry-like appearance that Rolex perfected in the early 1980s. It is a configuration that carries a significant amount of visual weight and historical value because the head and the solid gold band have stayed together through the years. Honest Condition And Verified Performance This watch is in good condition and maintains an honest, unpolished aesthetic. The 18k yellow gold case and bracelet show wear consistent with their age, but the lines remain sharp and the gold has a warm, authentic tone. The champagne Buckley dial is clean and the Tiffany stamp is clearly legible above the six o'clock marker. The Presidential bracelet shows light sag, which is appropriate for a gold piece from 1982, yet it remains secure and fully functional. The automatic movement is running strong after passing our test bench. A Rare Tiffany And Buckley Intersection This piece works because it combines three distinct collector tiers: solid gold construction, a Tiffany signature, and the Buckley dial layout. It functions as a sophisticated daily watch that holds a deep level of nuance for those who look closely. It avoids the predictability of standard gold Datejusts while maintaining the timeless silhouette that made the model famous. It is a rare opportunity to own a preserved piece of retail history that is as wearable today as it was forty years ago. For the person who understands the importance of original configurations, this is a difficult specification to replace. Key Specs: Reference: 6917 Model: Ladies Datejust (Tiffany & Co.
