Meteorite dial surfaces paired with yellow gold cases create one of horological collecting's most distinctive visual statements, and this Rolex Datejust 179178 delivers exactly that combination in unworn condition. The 26mm yellow gold case houses a genuine meteorite dial enhanced with diamond hour markers, creating crystalline patterns that formed millions of years ago in space. Rolex's signature fluted bezel in matching yellow gold frames the cosmic dial surface, while the integrated President bracelet completes this rare configuration. Originally introduced as part of Rolex's precious metal Datejust lineup, the 179178 represents the brand's commitment to incorporating extraordinary materials into their most iconic dress watch design.
