At the heart of the Rolex Datejust 179178 beats the caliber 2235, a self-winding movement that marked Rolex's dedication to developing manufacture movements specifically for their women's collections. This 26mm yellow gold case houses the sophisticated interplay between the black diamond dial and the signature fluted bezel, creating the visual contrast that defines this particular reference. The President bracelet, exclusively reserved for precious metal Rolex timepieces, completes the composition with its distinctive three-piece link construction. In unworn condition, this Datejust represents the pinnacle of Rolex's approach to luxury sports watches scaled for smaller wrists.
