Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date 6517

1940 - 1960
Description

Watch: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date 6517

Stock Number: CHW6429

Price: £2950.00

Rolex Lady Datejust 1968 | 18ct Yellow Gold | Automatic

A stunning and rare vintage example, this Rolex Lady Datejust is dated to 1968 by the serial number and is offered in exceptional condition throughout. A refined 18ct yellow gold case and fluted bezel, paired with a brilliant white dial, makes this an elegant and timeless choice.

Running from an automatic movement, the watch is performing well at +18 seconds per day. The dial features gold baton hour markers with matching gold hands and a date aperture at 3. The plexiglass and dial may have been replaced or refinished at some stage, given their outstanding condition for a 1960s watch.

Fitted to what appears to be a new old stock brown alligator Rolex strap with a gold-plated Rolex buckle, both in exceptional condition.

Archival Detail
Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Introduced in the mid-20th century, the reference 6517 belongs to the Oyster Perpetual line, featuring a compact case dimension tailored for women alongside an automatic self-winding movement and a date display with the signature magnifying Cyclops lens.

These timepieces were typically constructed using solid yellow gold or stainless steel, acrylic dial crystals, and precision Swiss movement components, often fitted to fine leather straps or matching metal bracelets.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting reference and serial numbers stamped between the case lugs, precise dial printing, official gold hallmarks on the case, and correct calibre identification on the internal movement.

A gold wristwatch with a fluted bezel serves as a subtle statement accessory, pairing effortlessly with structured tailoring, formal attire, or neutral everyday knitwear.

Store the timepiece in a dry environment away from strong magnetic fields and moisture, and ensure the mechanical movement is inspected and lubricated by a professional horologist every three to five years.
