Description

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Ref. 6917 lady’s vintage wristwatch, circa 1978 
A lady’s stainless steel and gold automatic centre seconds wristwatch with blue dial

One of Rolex’s most classic Oyster designs, this steel and gold lady’s wristwatch has a very attractive, midnight blue, satin finished dial. The stainless steel Oyster case has a gold fluted bezel and screw-down crown and the watch is fitted with its matching steel and gold Rolex Jubilee bracelet with adjustable folding clasp. Automatically wound, this model has an automatic movement with hack feature – when the crown is pulled out to set the hands, the centre seconds hand will stop, allowing accurate synchronisation to a time signal. In very good overall condition, there is only slight stretch to the bracelet.

As part of this watch’s service and overhaul, it has been pressure tested for water resistance for depths up to 100 metres.
