Lady’s bicolour Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust model 6917 (3) with white / roman numeral dial. This early 1980s watch was originally supplied on a Jubilee bracelet, but like many its bracelet had reached the end of its life and it is now offered on a brown, leather strap with base-metal pin-buckle that is a generic part, NOT made by Rolex. It has also been fitted with a synthetic sapphire glass that is not by Rolex, to update the older and more easily marked acrylic glass. We don’t as a rule approve of such work, but this appears to have been very well executed and modernises the watch. Comes with modern Rolex box, our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The watch shows some signs of its age and we would no longer guarantee this model to be water resistant, but for a buyer who will wear it sensibly it offers great value. Please note: it comes correctly with the Rolex 2035 calibre movement and as such does not have the “quick-set” feature, which would allow easier correction of the date at the end of a short month; instead one must simply advance or reverse the hands 24 hours to change the date.
Price: £1,999
