Roses are Red, this Rolex is too

This exquisite Rolex Lady Datejust Ref. 6927 in solid 18k yellow gold is a masterclass in bold vintage elegance. Produced in the early 1970s, this timepiece features the rare and highly coveted Red Stella dial — a high-gloss enamel finish in deep lacquered crimson, punctuated by diamond-set hour markers that shimmer against the bold backdrop. The combination of rich red enamel and precious stones makes this one of the most beautiful dial configurations ever fitted to the Lady Datejust series.

Adding to its rarity, the watch is adorned with Rolex’s distinctive “bark finish” — a textured engraving applied to both the bezel and the center links of the solid 18k gold bracelet. This artisanal finish, found only on a limited number of vintage Rolex models, evokes organic luxury and adds striking depth and contrast to the gold surfaces. The 26mm Oyster case remains in beautiful vintage condition, with sharp lugs, crisp edges, and a well-preserved dial untouched by time.

What truly sets this example apart is the full, collector-grade presentation it comes with — every detail drenched in a captivating red theme. The watch is housed in the extremely rare red Rolex box, embroidered with roses motif, perfectly echoing the boldness of the dial. Accompanying it is the original Italian-market punched warranty certificate, Rolex booklets, hang tags, vintage red ladies’ wallet and a Rolex cleaning cloth, — salute to the previous owner for keeping everything together, a beautiful set from a golden era.

As a complete set, this Lady Datejust is more than a watch — it’s a work of curated design and history. The red velvet interior, the radiant dial, and the preserved ephemera together form a cohesive visual narrative of vintage Rolex charm, femininity, and prestige. Few pieces encapsulate the artistry and theatrical elegance of 1970s Rolex quite like this one.
