About this watch

The 28mm Rolesor case delivers an understated elegance that transforms the daily ritual of checking time into something approaching ceremony, its yellow gold crown guards and fluted bezel catching light with each gesture. This Rolex Datejust 279173 pairs the classical Roman numeral indices against a silver dial with the five-link Jubilee bracelet, creating a composition that speaks to both tradition and contemporary proportions. The 28mm case size occupies that perfect middle ground—substantial enough for presence, refined enough for discretion. Unworn condition preserves every facet of Rolex's meticulous finishing, from the razor-sharp flute cuts to the mirror-polished center links.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Rolesor Construction — Rolex's proprietary two-tone blend combines Oystersteel case architecture with 18k yellow gold fluted bezel and crown, creating the signature contrast that defined luxury sports watches
  • 28mm Case Diameter — The contemporary sizing bridges vintage proportions with modern wrist presence, designed specifically for the Lady-Datejust collection's refined aesthetic
  • Silver Roman Dial — Classical Roman numerals at cardinal positions provide timeless legibility, while the sunray finish creates subtle texture variations throughout the day
  • Jubilee Five-Link Bracelet — The semicircular three-piece links alternate between polished yellow gold center links and brushed steel outer links, secured by the Oysterclasp with Easylink comfort extension
  • Fluted Bezel Heritage — The 18k yellow gold bezel features Rolex's signature fluting, originally functional for waterproofing but now a design hallmark that creates the model's distinctive light reflection
  • Sapphire Crystal Protection — Anti-reflective coating on the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures optimal dial visibility while maintaining the watch's pristine appearance
  • Unworn Condition — Complete preservation of factory finishing includes protective stickers, sharp case edges, and unblemished bracelet links, representing the timepiece exactly as intended by Rolex
