1971 Rolex Ladies Precision White Gold Diamond & Sapphire Ref. 2166

Rolex Precision with Diamonds & Sapphires

This 1971 Rolex Precision Ref. 2166 is a refined cocktail-watch example in white gold, beautifully set with both diamonds and a central sapphire — a combination that gives the watch a distinct sparkle and understated luxury. Designed for elegance and presence, it captures the refined style of early 1970s Rolex jewellery-watches, combining a compact case with precious materials to create a piece that’s both watch and statement jewellery.
As-found after more than five decades, the watch carries a subtle patina that reflects its history — notably, the bracelet shows gentle signs of wear consistent with over 50 years of life. These marks in no way detract from its charm; rather, they speak to the watch’s journey and authenticity, adding character without compromising overall appeal.

This piece is meant to be more than a timekeeper — it’s a conversation starter. As a cocktail or dress watch, it fills the role of a head-turner, ideal for evenings or special occasions when understated refinement and subtle glamour make the difference. The combination of white gold, diamonds, and sapphire catches light elegantly, ensuring the watch draws attention while retaining sophistication.

For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a vintage Rolex with personality, history, and discreet luxury, this watch presents a genuinely compelling opportunity. It offers the craftsmanship and quality expected from Rolex, curled into a feminine, jewel-like package that remains wearable, versatile, and unmistakably special.
