About this watch
Rolex Yellow Gold Lady-Datejust 26 Watch - Fluted Bezel - Mother-Of-Pearl Roman Dial - President Bracelet - 179178 mrp
Among lady's Datejust variants, the 26mm yellow gold reference 179178 with mother-of-pearl Roman dial represents the pinnacle of Rolex's traditional femininity in precious metal. This unworn example showcases the coveted combination of 18k yellow gold construction with the presidential three-link bracelet, a pairing reserved for the most refined iterations of the collection. The fluted bezel catches light with mathematical precision, while the lustrous mother-of-pearl dial creates an ever-changing canvas beneath its applied Roman numerals. Discontinued in favor of larger case sizes, the 26mm Datejust 179178 has become increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate its classic proportions and timeless elegance.
