Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 28 mm 279163CDJ Steel/Yellow Gold Champagne

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most enduring icons in watchmaking, representing the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch in the world sized specifically for a woman's wrist when it debuted in 1957. Decades later, the Lady-Datejust remains the definitive expression of timeless elegance from Geneva, and the 28mm case introduced in the modern era refines proportions to a delicate yet assertive presence on the wrist. Reference 279163CDJ carries that storied legacy forward with a combination of materials and finishing that places it firmly at the summit of the Lady-Datejust catalog.

The 28mm Oyster case of the 279163CDJ is constructed from Oystersteel, Rolex's proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance and mirror-like polish. The case is complemented by 18k yellow gold crown guards, lugs, and the hallmark smooth domed bezel, creating the two-tone aesthetic that Rolex collectors and connoisseurs have prized for generations. The result is a watch that reads as luxurious without sacrificing the robustness the Oyster case is engineered to deliver, including 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance.

At the heart of this reference is the champagne diamond dial, an arrestingly warm canvas set with diamond hour markers that catch light at every angle. Champagne dials occupy a special place in the Lady-Datejust universe because the golden hue harmonizes naturally with the 18k yellow gold bezel and two-tone case, creating a cohesive warmth that reads as a single unified composition rather than disparate elements. The date aperture at three o'clock with its characteristic Cyclops lens over the crystal completes the dial in the most recognizable Rolex fashion.

The Lady-Datejust 28 279163CDJ rides on the five-link Jubilee bracelet, a design Rolex introduced alongside the original Datejust in 1945 and one that remains synonymous with the model. The Jubilee bracelet's alternating polished center links and brushed outer links offer exceptional comfort and drape on the wrist, a characteristic that has made it the preferred choice for dress-oriented Datejust references. Finished with Rolex's Crownclasp or equivalent fine-adjustment system, the bracelet ensures a secure and precise fit across a range of wrist sizes.

Powering the 279163CDJ is a Rolex automatic movement, delivering the hands-free convenience and chronometric reliability the brand's movements are celebrated for worldwide. Rolex automatic calibers are COSC-certified chronometers and then regulated to even tighter in-house standards, giving the wearer confidence in daily accuracy. The movement is sealed within the screwdown Oyster caseback, protecting the caliber from dust, pressure, and moisture.
