Leather straps on a Lady-Datejust transform the character of the watch entirely. Where a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet emphasises the metallic continuity of the design, a black leather strap isolates the case as a standalone jewel on the wrist. The 69173 with a white dial and yellow gold-plated fluted bezel on leather is one of the dressiest Lady-Datejust configurations: formal, feminine, and unmistakably Rolex in its proportions.

The 69173 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The white dial offers the brightest possible canvas for the yellow gold-plated hour markers and hands, creating high contrast and instant legibility. The clean white surface reads as formal and fresh, with a date aperture at three o’clock magnified by the Cyclops lens. At 26mm, the case proportions are traditionally feminine and suit smaller wrists with ease.
The fluted yellow gold-plated bezel is the centrepiece of the design, its deeply cut ridges catching light in alternating bands of gold and shadow. Against the black leather strap, the gold bezel and steel case stand out as a self-contained design statement. The leather option adds comfort and versatility — easy to swap for a different colour or material. See more strap variations in the Lady-Datejust collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Choose your movement grade to match your needs:
- Swiss automatic — higher beat rate for a smoother seconds sweep, longer power reserve, and finishing that echoes the genuine caliber. Ideal for those who want the closest horological experience.
- Japanese automatic — reliable Miyota-based movement with globally accessible servicing and consistent timekeeping. An excellent practical choice for daily wear.
Both movements offer hacking seconds and quickset date.
