About this watch

Wrapped around the wrist, this 26mm yellow gold Datejust 179178 delivers an intimate elegance that larger cases simply cannot match, its fluted bezel catching light with every gesture while the mother-of-pearl diamond dial shifts through iridescent hues. The President bracelet's three-piece link construction creates a supple drape that feels substantial yet refined, perfectly proportioned for the compact 26mm case diameter. This reference 179178 represents the pinnacle of Rolex's ladies' complications, combining the brand's signature date function with precious metal execution and diamond hour markers. In unworn condition, every surface retains its factory-fresh polish, from the razor-sharp flute edges to the mirror-like bracelet center links.
