Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179174-DMOPDJ Dark Mother of Pearl Diamond Fluted White Gold Stainless Steel Jubilee - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most enduring icons in watchmaking, representing the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch created specifically for women when Rolex introduced the line in 1957. Across decades of refinement the Lady-Datejust has retained its core identity—a perfectly proportioned case, the instantly recognizable date window at three o'clock, and a palette of dials and bezels broad enough to satisfy the most discerning collector. Reference 179174-DMOPDJ sits firmly within this tradition while pushing its glamour to a notably higher register.

At 26mm the stainless steel case of reference 179174-DMOPDJ is the classic Lady-Datejust footprint—compact, elegantly curved, and built to Rolex's exacting tolerances. The Oyster case architecture provides the robust foundation that Rolex is celebrated for, housing every detail in brushed and polished steel that catches light with quiet authority. The proportions make this reference equally at home against a tailored cuff or a cocktail sleeve.

The defining visual statement of 179174-DMOPDJ is its dark mother of pearl dial. Mother of pearl is harvested from molluscs whose shells produce an iridescent nacre, and no two dials are ever identical—each exhibits its own shifting interplay of color depending on the light and the angle of view. Rolex specifies a dark variant here, lending the dial a moody, deep quality that contrasts beautifully with the white gold fluted bezel above it. The factory-set diamond hour markers are positioned by Rolex itself, guaranteeing perfect alignment and a level of finishing that aftermarket settings cannot replicate.

The white gold fluted bezel is one of the most storied design elements in the Rolex catalog, tracing its origins to the earliest Datejust references of the 1940s. The engine-turned fluting catches light in tight, rhythmic intervals, framing the dark dial with a crown of brilliance. Using white gold for the bezel against the stainless steel case creates a two-tone aesthetic that is sophisticated without being ostentatious—an interplay of materials Rolex has mastered over generations. The stainless steel Jubilee bracelet, introduced alongside the original Datejust in 1945, completes the configuration with its characteristic five-link construction and fine centre links, offering both supple wrist drape and secure wear.

Powering the Lady-Datejust 26 is a Swiss automatic movement, the hallmark of every modern Rolex, ensuring continuous self-winding convenience and the chronometric precision the brand demands of every reference it releases. Rolex movements are manufactured, assembled, and certified entirely in-house, and the calibers used in the Lady-Datejust line carry the Superlative Chronometer designation, reflecting accuracy standards that exceed those required by official COSC certification.
