The Lady-Datejust
The Ref. 69068 represents one of the more luxurious executions of the classic Lady-Datejust, combining its elegant 26mm proportions with solid 18k yellow gold, factory gem-setting and the iconic President bracelet. Dating to 1990, this example has a particularly striking presence while retaining the unmistakable proportions of a vintage Lady-Datejust.

Diamond & Ruby Bezel
Surrounding the dial is a beautiful factory-set bezel featuring brilliant-cut diamonds with baguette-cut rubies positioned at the quarters. The rich red tones of the rubies contrast beautifully against the yellow gold and diamonds, while also tying the bezel perfectly into the ruby detailing found on the dial.

The Missoni Dial
The centrepiece of this watch is undoubtedly its rare Missoni-style dial. The intricate gold surface features a distinctive woven, chevron-like pattern running across the centre, creating exceptional texture and depth as the light moves across it.

Surrounding the patterned centre is an elaborate arrangement of brilliant-cut diamonds and round-cut rubies, with the alternating flashes of white and deep red adding another layer of detail to an already highly decorative dial. The applied Rolex and Datejust plaques complete one of the most unusual and visually striking Lady-Datejust dial configurations.

The President Bracelet
The watch is fitted with its original solid 18k yellow gold President bracelet, giving the watch the unmistakable look associated with Rolex’s most prestigious gold models.

The Movement
Powering the watch is Rolex’s Calibre 2135 automatic movement, a COSC-certified calibre renowned for its reliability, precision and durability. It remains one of Rolex’s most respected ladies’ automatic movements and is designed for dependable long-term use.
