Most gold Datejusts wear big. This one doesn't. The 6917 is the 26mm case — small on purpose — and on a wrist under about six and a half inches it sits flat, no overhang, no sliding. That's the whole point of it.
Yellow gold reads warm against skin, and the fluted bezel throws light in short flashes rather than a hard glare. The black dial keeps it grounded; the diamond markers catch under a cuff without shouting. It's a dress watch that still works with a rolled sleeve and a watch you can wear every day.
It's a 1978 piece, non quick-set, so you'll walk the date forward past midnight — part of living with a watch this age, not a flaw. Condition is used, honest for its years.
We're selling it head only. That's a plus if you're particular: put it on a slim gold bracelet for full dress, or a black or brown leather strap to dress it down and shrink the footprint further. Authenticated and serviced in-house, backed by our own store warranty.
Small wrist, real gold, no compromise on proportion.
