About this watch

Lavender diamond hour markers against the soft purple dial create an ethereal sophistication in this 28mm Yellow Gold Rolesor Lady-Datejust, where Rolex's two-tone mastery reaches its most refined expression. The Rolex Datejust 279173 pairs the warmth of 18k yellow gold with Oystersteel construction, creating the brand's signature Rolesor finish that has defined luxury sports watches since 1933. Rolex's fluted bezel in yellow gold catches light at every angle, transforming the lavender dial into a canvas that shifts from soft violet to deeper amethyst tones throughout the day. This unworn example represents the contemporary Lady-Datejust collection at its most compelling, where technical excellence meets distinctly feminine proportions.
