Lady-Datejust 31mm

The Rolex Lady-Datejust, reference 68273, is a beautifully preserved piece of Rolex history, a 31mm Datejust from the mid-1980s that carries the collection's timeless design language with the kind of patina and character that only four decades of careful ownership can produce. This certified pre-owned example from 1986 is offered in very good condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories, a genuinely exceptional preservation for a watch of this age.

Crafted in stainless steel with a fluted bezel in 18k white gold, the 68273 presents the Lady-Datejust in its classic 31mm Oyster case, a perfectly proportioned format that sits with effortless elegance on any wrist. The warmth of white gold against the cool steel gives the watch a quietly luxurious two-material character that has defined the Datejust family for generations, and that never feels dated regardless of the decade.

The dial carries the natural beauty of its era, with applied stick and dot hour markers and clean stick hands that have developed the warm, nuanced tone that original dials from the 1980s are prized for among vintage collectors. A date display at 3 o'clock, magnified by Rolex's iconic Cyclops lens, completes a composition that is as classically resolved as it was when it left Geneva nearly four decades ago.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 2135, a reliable in-house automatic movement that powered the Lady-Datejust family throughout this era with the precision and dependability that Rolex has always demanded from its manufacture movements.

The watch is fitted with the elegant five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, offering outstanding comfort and the refined wrist presence that has always made the Jubilee the definitive Datejust bracelet, here carrying its own beautiful patina of age.

Available now at Minty Watches, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is a rare opportunity for collectors of pre-owned luxury timepieces in Geneva seeking a fully documented vintage Rolex of exceptional originality.

A pre-owned watch in Geneva that has kept perfect time since 1986, and shows no sign of stopping.
