{"product_id":"rolex-oyster-perpetual-datejust-pyramid-dial-1997","title":"Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 'Pyramid' Dial 1997 Full Set","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAn automatic stainless steel and eighteen carat gold ladies Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 69173 model. This example has a very special, and a very rare 'pyramid' style dial that is three dimensional throughout with applied solid eighteen gold Roman numerals. These dials were all made by Rolex around the end of the 1990's and into the early 2000's. They appeared in very few different colours, and even some very rare stone dials cut in these patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis is a ‘no lume' dial, with the correct, original no lume, all eighteen carat gold hands. This means there is no 'Superluminova' applied to the dial or hands that allow it to be seen in the dark. This was more common for these more \"jewel\" type dials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch is powered by a Rolex, Swiss made, twenty nine jewel automatic calibre 2135 movement that powered the majority of all Rolex models since its launch in 1983.  This model comes with the more ergonomic 'Quick Set' date function meaning that by pulling out the winding crown one step, you can engage the date wheel and turn it to the desired date\u003c\/span\u003e. This case does not have the spring bar holes exposed from the side, a 'no holes' case, which was introduced around this time. The watch is fitted to its original Rolex Jubilee stainless steel and eighteen carat gold bracelet with four removable links in place, which, if needed, can be removed to make the bracelet smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe watch was made circa 1997 with serial number U,398,XXX. Now almost thirty years old, the watch is officially 'vintage'! The watch is in original condition, unpolished, in what is known as \"NOS\" New Old Stock. The watch shows no signs of wear. It was bought form the original owner who purchased the watch in Paris, France, and then never wore it more than a handful of times. The original eighteen carat gold and stainless steel jubilee bracelet is perfect, with the deployant buckle showing light wear. Not only is the watch presented in this condition, it is also a \"full set\". It has the original outer card box, inner wooden box, plastic Rolex hang tag with serial number, brochures, and most importantly, punched paperwork from Rolex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese watches are quite hard to find, let alone in this condition, complete. If the desire is there for something subtle, but beautiful, this watch very much ticks the boxes. The dial detail does not become immediately apparent. Only upon closer inspection does the   beautiful detail reveal itself. To find one in this condition today is near impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe watch comes with a Foundwell one year warranty against mechanical  failure.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45892135420094,"sku":null,"price":11750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/2617\/files\/0014-1_40090f90-ceac-458b-a842-d9b2665687ba.jpg?v=1769474010","url":"https:\/\/foundwell.com\/products\/rolex-oyster-perpetual-datejust-pyramid-dial-1997","provider":"Foundwell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
