Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179171-WHTRO White Roman Fluted Rose Gold Stainless Steel Oyster - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most enduring icons in watchmaking history, representing the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch sized specifically for women when it was introduced in 1957. Descended directly from the original 1945 Datejust—itself the world's first self-winding chronometer wristwatch to display the date—the Lady-Datejust carries decades of horological prestige in a compact, elegant case designed to complement the female wrist.

Reference 179171-WHTRO measures 26mm in diameter, a beautifully proportioned size that has defined the Lady-Datejust silhouette for generations. The case is crafted from Rolex's signature Oystersteel, a corrosion-resistant alloy chosen for both its durability and its ability to accept a mirror-bright polish. The Oyster case architecture—with its twinlock crown and seamlessly integrated lugs—provides the robust construction Rolex is celebrated for, while remaining slender and refined enough to sit gracefully beneath a cuff.

The white dial with Roman numeral hour markers is among the most classically feminine dial configurations offered within the Lady-Datejust collection. Roman numerals have adorned dress watches for centuries, lending an air of timeless sophistication that resonates with buyers who appreciate heritage and legibility in equal measure. The date aperture at three o'clock is a practical hallmark of the Datejust lineage, and the cyclops lens above it magnifies the date 2.5× for effortless reading.

The rose gold fluted bezel is the defining decorative detail that gives reference 179171-WHTRO its unmistakable two-tone personality. Rolex pioneered the fluted bezel as a functional element—originally used to screw the bezel onto the case—and it has since become one of the brand's most recognizable design codes. The warm hue of the rose gold plays beautifully against the cool luster of the stainless steel case and bracelet, creating a contrast that feels luxurious without being ostentatious. The Oyster bracelet itself combines rose gold center links with Oystersteel outer links, reinforcing the two-tone theme throughout and securing the watch with Rolex's reliable folding Crownclasp.

For collectors and first-time Rolex buyers alike, the Lady-Datejust 179171-WHTRO represents one of the most compelling entry points into the world of Rolex. It combines genuine precious metal accents, an iconic dial configuration, and the legendary Rolex Oyster case in a package that holds its desirability across generations.
