The Rolex Date reference 6917 is a 26mm timepiece in Steel and Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Silver Stick dial, Fluted YG bezel, Jubilee bracelet, dated circa 1978. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Quickset matters more than most buyers expect here. The 1500-series references, 1503 and 15053, preDate that mechanism, while the 15000-series onward, including 15203 and 15505, introduced it in 1977. That single change improves daily usability. Metal then drives price sharply, from steel at the low end through Rolesor to solid gold near the ceiling. Our desk verifies movement and reference details so you understand exactly what you own.

Buying a Rolex calls for a measured approach, since demand consistently exceeds supply and steel references like the Submariner, GMT-Master II, and Daytona trade above retail. Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the Geneva house pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and Date displays. Our specialists examine the Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens in house, so you can commit to a piece with genuine confidence. Browse all Rolex ›
