Rolex 69173 OP Date Dial

Hello all, first post on this forum!
I recently purchased a 69173 for my wife to match my 16233. I was curious about the dial markings as it only states Rolex Oyster Perpetual. I am only familiar with seeing Datejust and Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified on these models. The case is marked 69173 and the SN is 862xxxx.
I tried to upload photos but was hitting the forum size limits.

Does the 69173 case marking with this dial indicate a dial swap or was this common back in the early/mid 80s?

A Rolex 69173 should say Datejust on the dial and be a ladies 26mm, Two Tone.

The Oyster Perpetual Date and Oyster Perpetual are generally 24mm watches.

Everything is not set in stone with Rolex though. More info may be required.
