Rolex Lady-Datejust 6917 ‘Coral Khanjar’ Dial - 18K Yellow Gold

Collectors are often drawn to timepieces with natural stone dials due to their rarity, intrinsic uniqueness, and fascinating textures. At the same time, collectors are frequently drawn to watches that come with a compelling and important story. So what happens when you combine both elements? Let us introduce you to this extraordinary example: this exceptionally rare Rolex Lady-Datejust reference 6917, featuring a spectacular 'Coral' stone dial adorned at 6 o’clock with the iconic Omani ‘Khanjar’ emblem, stamped in black to match the rest of the dial’s graphics.

So-called 'Khanjar' or 'Oman' dials are among the most collectible and sought-after Rolex pieces ever made. These exclusive watches were specially commissioned by the Sultanate of Oman and bear the national emblem, the traditional Khanjar dagger, on the dial, a detail exclusive to these unique pieces.

Dials crafted from natural hardstone are themselves among the most coveted, collectible, and technically challenging variations ever produced by the Crowned Maison. Within the vast and refined spectrum of stone dials offered by Rolex over the years, Coral is considered by scholars and connoisseurs alike to be the rarest and most desirable.

The fusion of these two rare features elevates this timepiece to an exceptional level of exclusivity. Furthermore, as highlighted by renowned expert Mr. Mazzariol, the coral dial remains in flawless condition. These dials are crafted through an extraordinarily skilled and meticulous process using real coral, an organic, delicate material prone to fracturing, making the pristine condition of this over-40-year-old example nothing short of remarkable.

The model reference, 6917, is one of the most distinguished Lady-Datejust models from the ‘Plexi era,’ with a production span stretching from the late 1960s through the 1980s. This reference features a 26mm Oyster case, the smallest in the Lady-Datejust line, and is powered by Rolex’s in-house automatic Caliber 2035.
An exceedingly rare configuration, combining superior condition, royal provenance, and extreme scarcity, this is far more than a timepiece. It represents a convergence of craftsmanship, refinement, and connoisseurship. A true collector’s dream.
