About this watch

This unworn Rolex Datejust 279178 showcases the sophisticated interplay between 18-karat yellow gold construction and a mother-of-pearl diamond dial in the refined 28mm case size. The fluted bezel catches light with precision-machined ridges that have defined Rolex elegance since the 1950s, while ten brilliant-cut diamonds mark the hours against the lustrous nacre surface. Mounted on the iconic five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, this Lady-Datejust represents the perfect scale for discerning collectors seeking the full precious metal experience in Rolex's most enduring dress watch format. The reference 279178 continues the Datejust legacy with modern manufacturing precision while maintaining the collection's timeless proportions.
