About this watch

Among contemporary Rolex offerings, the 28mm Lady-Datejust in steel and yellow gold Rolesor commands particular respect for its refined proportions and enduring appeal across generations of collectors. This reference 279173 exemplifies the collection's signature two-tone aesthetic, pairing the durability of Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold accents that catch light beautifully against the silver diamond star dial. The fluted bezel, a hallmark of Datejust design language since the 1940s, creates distinctive light patterns that enhance the watch's presence on the wrist. Presented in unworn condition with the five-link Jubilee bracelet, this piece represents the modern evolution of Rolex's most recognizable dress watch silhouette.
