1990 Rolex Lady-Datejust 26MM Champagne Linen Dial Two-Tone Jubilee Bracelet 69173
1990 Rolex Lady-Datejust 26MM Champagne Linen Dial Two-Tone Jubilee Bracelet 69173
1990 Rolex Lady-Datejust 26MM Champagne Linen Dial — Ref. 69173
An elegant vintage Rolex with a distinctive dial, this circa-1990 Rolex Lady-Datejust reference 69173 combines the classic two-tone Datejust design with a beautiful Champagne Linen dial.
For your complete confidence and peace of mind, this timepiece has been independently authenticated prior to being offered for sale.
The linen dial is the highlight of this example. Unlike the more commonly encountered traditional champagne finish, the textured linen surface creates additional depth and character as the light moves across the dial. Applied yellow-gold hour markers and matching hands complement the two-tone construction while preserving the timeless appearance for which the Lady-Datejust is known.
The 26MM Oyster case is crafted from stainless steel and paired with an 18K yellow-gold fluted bezel. Completing the classic Rolex configuration is the stainless-steel and 18K yellow-gold Jubilee bracelet—arguably the bracelet most closely associated with the Datejust collection.
At 3 o’clock, the date is displayed beneath Rolex’s signature Cyclops magnification lens. Inside is Rolex’s automatic mechanical movement, providing the durability and everyday usability that helped establish the Datejust as one of the most recognizable luxury watches ever produced.

Why This Example Stands Out
The reference 69173 is one of the quintessential two-tone Rolex Lady-Datejust models, but the Champagne Linen dial gives this example considerably more personality than the standard champagne-dial configuration.
Its textured finish has a distinctly vintage character and makes this an appealing choice for a collector looking for a classic Rolex with something different on the wrist.
The combination of the Champagne Linen dial, yellow-gold fluted bezel and two-tone Jubilee bracelet delivers the unmistakable Rolex Datejust aesthetic in the traditional 26MM size.
