Rolex Lady Datejust 69098 'Ruby Khanjar'

While our focus often lies with gentleman’s Rolex and Patek Philippe, this watch is a reminder that the world of collecting extends to extraordinary ladies’ pieces as well. And this one, without question, belongs among the finest.

Factory-set with a pavé diamond dial, ruby indices, and a ruby bezel, this Lady Datejust stands apart as a watch that was likely commissioned for someone of extraordinary means.

Adding to its uniqueness, the watch is fitted with a magnificent factory “Octopussy” bracelet: fully set with rubies in the center links and diamonds along the outer edges. The bracelet alone elevates this Lady Datejust into a realm far beyond conventional watchmaking, each stone meticulously chosen and mounted by Rolex’s master gem-setters.

A Rare Commission of Royal Provenance
Lady Rolex references of this level, tied to Omani provenance and executed with such extraordinary factory gem-setting, are extremely rare. Likely a special commission, this watch sits at the intersection of horology, history, and high jewelry.

Accompanying this Lady Datejust is its original Khanjar-stamped paper and envelope: a mark of provenance that connects the watch directly to Oman’s history of commissioning exceptional Rolex creations. Far more than documentation, it is a symbol of origin and prestige, underscoring that this was almost certainly a special-order piece destined for the highest circles.

Condition
This reference 69098 has been beautifully preserved. The pavé diamond dial is flawless, its rubies vibrant, and its bezel shines with factory-set precision. The Octopussy bracelet remains strong and structurally sound, its dramatic presence intact. Very minimal, careful signs of use are present, perfectly in line with a watch that was both treasured and preserved.
