About this watch

Introduced as part of Rolex's refined 28mm Lady-Datejust collection, the reference 279163 exemplifies the manufacture's mastery of Rolesor—their proprietary fusion of Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold. This particular configuration pairs the warmth of yellow gold with a champagne diamond dial, creating an elegant interplay between precious metal and gemstone artistry that has defined luxury sports watches since the Datejust's 1945 debut. The 28mm case size represents the contemporary evolution of the Lady-Datejust, offering proportions that bridge vintage sensibilities with modern wrist presence while maintaining the collection's essential DNA.
