Rolex Datejust Ref. 6917

Yes! 80s, baby!

This very cool Lady Datejust Ref. 6917 is the epitome of 1980s chique. Although neither a two-tone execution nor a tapestry dial is specific to the 1980s, the combination of the two just brings us back.

The Datejust is one of the most versatile watches ever designed. A two-tone specimen arguably even more so. Whether you are on the couch in sweats or at a cocktail party wearing your finest silver and gold jewellery, this little Rolex is the perfect companion.

Come and try it on at Amsterdam Watch Company. Prepare to fall in love.

Backstory

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic watch designs ever made. We try not to use the term “iconic” too liberally, but it is surely justified here. Launched back in 1945 as the Ref. 4467, the design has been only marginally updated every now and then. And it has looked fresh and current ever since.

When it comes to vintage, two generations of Datejust are particularly popular; the Ref. 16xx and the later five-digit references. The 16xx models were made from the fifties until  roughly 1978 and feature a beautifully dimensional pie-pan dial. Many of these came on folded jubilee bracelets and they did not yet feature a quickset date.

When the reference was updated to five digits around 1978, the pie-pan dial was replaced by a flat dial. The caliber was updated to now feature a quickset date. A decade later, in 1988, a new update saw the introduction of a sapphire crystal. For us, this is where vintage Datejust becomes modern Datejust.

Countless variations can be found. Different bezels, bracelets, dial colors, sizes and materials. The Datejust is one of the most beloved and versatile watches around. If you are looking for a one-watch-collection, that works equally well with shorts as it does with a three-piece suit, the Datejust is probably a pretty safe bet!
