ROLEX Ladies President Datejust, 69178 - 18K Gold, Rubies & Diamonds
Fully Serviced ($695) - Beautiful Condition "E" Serial - 1 Year Warranty



Ladies Rolex President - 1 Year Warranty - Genuine with Original Rolex Presidential Bracelet

The Spirit of Luxury - High Quality Custom Diamond & Ruby Bezel & Diamond Dial

Today's auction showcases this stunning modern style President with sapphire crystal, quick-setting date, and solid center link Rolex Presidential bracelet.

It has previously been fitted with a high quality aftermarket diamond and ruby bezel. The diamonds are white and fiery.

The Rolex dial has been previously refinished to white mother or pearl with diamonds.

The photos just don't do the watch justice.

The watch has just been fully serviced by a Master Watchmaker. The servicing consisted of disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with Rolex parts, reassembling and lubricating the movement, replacing all of the waterproofing seals with new Rolex gaskets, and timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Retail price for a new President (without diamonds): $23,850.00 USD


Rolex President:
For many watch connoisseurs, the special Rolex featured here needs no introduction... Nicknamed "The President" after Rolex gave an example of the gent's model to Dwight Eisenhower, it remains the company's flagship model and is the most recognizable elite, luxury watch in the world.

Examples can be found adorning prominent wrists around Hollywood (Jennifer Garner wears an 18K yellow gold ladies President and Angelina Jolie, Gwenneth Paltrow, and Halle Berry all wear ladies Rolexes, to name just a few) and in boardrooms and offices around the world. To own a President is to claim a true distinction.
