About this watch
Among collectors seeking the quintessential ladies' luxury timepiece, the 179238 with its white Roman dial represents one of Rolex's most enduring configurations in the 26mm yellow gold Datejust lineup. This particular example showcases the classical pairing of warm 18k yellow gold case construction with the crisp contrast of a pristine white dial, creating the visual harmony that has made this reference a mainstay in the secondary market for over two decades. The fluted bezel and President bracelet combination elevates this piece beyond standard luxury into the realm of recognizable horological iconography. In unworn condition, this 179238 exemplifies the refined proportions and meticulous finishing that established the Lady-Datejust as the benchmark for women's dress watches.
