Rolex Lady Datejust 69178 'Black'

Rolex Lady-Datejust 69178 — Black Dial Elegance, Signed in Venice

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 69178 in solid 18k yellow gold is a hallmark of enduring luxury — and this example, with its rare black dial, offers a striking departure from the more commonly seen champagne or silver variants.

Crisp, minimal, and quietly confident, the black dial brings a modern edge to the watch’s classic 26mm profile. With no diamonds or embellishments, the focus here is purely on form, material, and legacy. The fluted bezel and tight President bracelet remain razor-sharp, and the case retains excellent definition — a clear sign of careful preservation.

This piece is accompanied by original paperwork from Venice, confirming its sale in 1993, with a production date of 1991 — anchoring the watch not just in Rolex’s history, but in a real-world story of place and time.

Inside beats the automatic Caliber 2135, known for its precision and durability. Whether worn daily or tucked into a collection, this reference stands as an emblem of quiet sophistication.
