Offered in outstanding condition, this elegant Lady-Datejust perfectly combines timeless Rolex design with one of the brand’s most captivating and seldom-seen factory dials.

The Case
The Lady-Datejust 179173 features the classic 26mm Oyster case, perfectly proportioned for those who appreciate a refined and elegant wristwatch. Crafted from a combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the case is complemented by Rolex’s iconic fluted yellow gold bezel.

The Bracelet
The watch is fitted to its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet, crafted in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. The 179173 benefits from Rolex’s upgraded solid-link construction, offering a more substantial feel while retaining the exceptional comfort for which the Jubilee bracelet is renowned. Completing the bracelet is the elegant concealed Crownclasp, allowing the bracelet to flow seamlessly around the wrist without the interruption of a visible clasp.

The Dial
The defining feature of this example is its exceptionally rare factory Gold Dust Mother of Pearl dial, complemented by factory-set diamond hour markers in yellow gold settings. Unlike conventional mother of pearl, the Gold Dust variant displays a captivating marbled appearance, with shimmering champagne and golden tones that shift beautifully as the light catches the natural surface. As each dial is cut from genuine mother of pearl, no two examples are ever identical, making every watch truly one of a kind. The combination of its warm, organic character and factory diamond hour markers creates one of the most elegant and desirable dial configurations ever offered on the Lady-Datejust.

The Movement
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 2235, a self-winding automatic movement celebrated for its precision, durability and reliability. Equipped with a quickset date function, the calibre offers effortless daily usability while maintaining the chronometric performance expected of Rolex.

The Crystal
The watch is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal featuring Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens positioned above the date aperture at 3 o’clock, magnifying the date for improved legibility.
