About this watch

Among the contemporary Lady-Datejust offerings, the lilac stripe diamond index dial configuration in 28mm yellow gold represents one of Rolex's most sophisticated feminine expressions. The 279178 reference, introduced as part of the modern Lady-Datejust evolution, showcases the manufacturer's mastery of both precious metal case construction and intricate dial artistry. This particular combination of the lilac striped surface with diamond hour markers creates a distinctive visual texture that catches light differently throughout the day. The five-link Jubilee bracelet, originally developed for the Datejust line in 1945, provides the perfect complement to the fluted bezel's classic proportions.
