For sale is a very rare and extraordinary Rolex Lady-Datejust 26mm Ref. 69038 crafted from solid 18k yellow gold, featuring factory-set rubies and diamonds.
Meticulously maintained, this watch comes complete with its original Rolex 'Masterpiece' jewelry box, manuals, swing tag, and leather wallet. Additionally, it underwent an official Rolex service in October 2023, guaranteeing that it is running to factory specifications.
The Bezel:
A defining feature of this masterpiece is its factory-set bezel, a testament to Rolex’s expertise in fine gem-setting. The bezel is crafted from 18k yellow gold and features an elegant alternating pattern of round brilliant-cut diamonds and rubies. Each gemstone is meticulously selected and set to maximize brilliance and symmetry. The rich, deep-red rubies contrast beautifully with the dazzling diamonds, creating a mesmerizing play of light from every angle.
The Dial:
Complementing the bezel is an extraordinary, all-original diamond and ruby string dial, also crafted from 18k solid gold—a feature exclusive to Rolex’s most prestigious dials. The sunburst champagne dial is adorned with a delicate string of brilliant-cut diamonds, each boasting internally flawless clarity. Instead of traditional hour markers, ten expertly cut rubies add a striking pop of color, perfectly harmonizing with the bezel and enhancing the watch’s opulent aesthetic.
