About this watch

Introduced in 2007, the reference 178273 represents the pinnacle of the ladies' Datejust evolution, combining Rolex's signature two-tone construction with refined proportions in a 31mm yellow gold case. This particular example showcases the coveted silver diamond Roman VI dial configuration, where a single brilliant-cut diamond replaces the traditional Roman numeral at six o'clock, creating an asymmetrical elegance that distinguishes it from standard Roman dial variants. The fluted bezel's hand-finished grooves catch light with the same technical precision that has defined Rolex's aesthetic language since the 1930s, while the robust Oyster bracelet maintains the collection's tool watch heritage despite its precious metal appointments.
