Our Opinion

Rolex Ladies Datejust “TRIDOR” 26mm 18k Yellow – Rose, White and Yellow Gold Reference 69179

Offered here is a beautiful example of the ladies Rolex “Tridor” Datejust 26mm with the bracelet manufactured in 3 different materials hence the name “Tridor”. Reference 69179 manufactured circa 1995.

The mix of the three main colours of gold was considered very chic in the 1980s with tri-gold jewellery popping up everywhere and Rolex presented their version of this trend with the Datejust “Tridor.” The outer semi-circular links of the iconic Jubilee bracelet are made of White Gold to match the case; however, the centre links were fashioned from a blend of 18k pink, yellow, and a centre strip of white gold. Unlike the “Rolesor” where the metals are fully blended, this “Tridor” took a different approach. The stripes of the multi-coloured gold were meticulously fused together to produce perfectly straight lines running through the entire length of the bracelet providing a very distinctive design that would make anyone look twice.

The lady Datejust is a Rolex ladies classic that employs a sophisticated appeal and symbolizes style with accurate performance. Launched in 1945, offering timeless elegance and functionality, available in different sizes.

This beautiful example of the ladies Datejust has the correct “Tridor” combination and date aperture at 3 o’clock for its W74---- serial number range, along with the 18k yellow gold fluted bezel.

The overall condition of this stunning ladies Datejust is excellent. The case appears to have never been polished in the past and retains its factory strong equal lugs along with the brushed finish to the top edges remaining very well defined, the yellow gold fluted bezel has no dings or scratches and really compliments the appearance of this 26mm Datejust. The champagne-coloured dial is in flawless condition and the white gold hands and applied roman hour markers all matching in colour. The sapphire glass is the ‘Top Hat’ style inclusive of the Cyclops date window for this model, it is also free of any detrimental scratches or marks.

The watch comes on the correct type of Rolex “Tridor” combination Jubilee bracelet and matching end links. The bracelet is showing only light wear and minimal stretch.

These stunning ladies “Tridor” Datejust is accompanied with its original Rolex box and guarantee certificate.
