Prepare to be captivated by a true icon of horological elegance: a superb 18k 1980 Lady's Rolex President Datejust, model 6917, bearing the distinguished serial number 6528221. This exquisite timepiece is more than just a watch; it's a testament to Rolex's enduring legacy of luxury and precision. Complete with Rolex jewelry box shown, booklet, card case and passport cover, all in fine vintage condition. This has been one of my own Rolex watches for about 20 years, always runs perfectly and feels heavy and smooth on my 6.25-6.5" wrist. Total weight is 67.75 grams.
In 18k gold, the watch case exudes a warm, lustrous glow, perfectly complementing the dazzling diamond bezel. Each of the 44 precisely facet-cut diamonds, meticulously set, 2.15 ct tw - 2mm each, creating a scintillating halo that catches the light with every movement. These aren't just mere accents; they are a symphony of brilliance, elevating this Rolex from a timepiece to a wearable work of art.
Self-winding movement, a hallmark of Rolex's Swiss engineering prowess, and it is running perfectly, promising decades more of reliable timekeeping. The watch is presented on a beautiful 9k gold President bracelet with Rolex 18k clasp designed for both comfort and sophistication, and gracefully accommodates wrists ranging from 6.5" to 7". While the case is 18k, the bracelet in 9k gold offers a subtly different tone and a robust feel, an interesting characteristic that adds to its vintage charm. Very good, cleaned and polished and new oyster crystal.
