A very attractive and unusual combination of rich green jasper dial and yellow gold. This watch boasts history, comfort, and function, having adorned the wrists of some seriously powerful and influential women. The present watch is a rare example of a Datejust reference 69 178, with a very captivating green jasper dial with red spots (inclusions of hematite), in the green heliotrope. It is referred to as a bloodstone and was produced in a small number by Rolex. Over the years Rolex has and continues to experiment with many different dial designs with a variety of hard stones. Due to their fragile nature, many of these dials break during production which increases the manufacturing cost, so these watches are highly sought after by collectors. It is offered in outstanding condition with original yellow-gold oyster bracelet. This particular ladies Rolex boasts a striking stone dial, which complements the yellow finish exceptionally well.
