26mm Oyster Case with 18k Yellow Gold Bezel
The Rolex 69163 features a 26mm stainless-steel Oyster case complemented by a polished 18k yellow gold smooth bezel.
Unlike the fluted bezel commonly associated with the Datejust collection, the smooth gold bezel gives this reference a cleaner and more understated appearance.
A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens magnifies the date display at 3 o’clock.
The watch was originally rated for 100 meters of water resistance. For a pre-owned example, current water resistance should be verified through pressure testing.
Classic Lady-Datejust Dial
The Ref. 69163 was produced with several dial configurations, including champagne, silver, white, black, and darker slate tones, with different hour-marker styles.
Its traditional three-hand layout features central hours, minutes, and seconds, together with a date window at 3 o’clock.
The combination of a compact case, gold bezel, and classic Datejust dial creates a refined appearance that remains recognizable across generations.
Rolex Calibre 2135 Automatic Movement
The Lady-Datejust 69163 is powered by the Rolex Calibre 2135, a self-winding mechanical movement with 29 jewels and approximately 42 hours of power reserve.
The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and features a quickset date function, allowing the date to be adjusted independently of the time.
Two-Tone Stainless Steel and Yellow Gold Bracelet
The Ref. 69163 is commonly fitted with a two-tone Oyster bracelet, featuring stainless-steel outer links and yellow gold center links.
The combination complements the polished gold bezel while retaining the practicality of stainless steel.
Other period bracelet configurations exist, so the bracelet fitted to the actual watch should be confirmed when preparing the final product listing.
