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

The Rolex Lady-Datejust has been the definitive dress watch for women since Rolex introduced the Datejust family in 1945, and the 28mm generation—launched in 2016 to replace the 26mm—elevated the collection with a more contemporary case size and the full suite of modern Rolex engineering. Reference 279163CSJ sits at a particularly desirable point in the lineup, blending two metals and a warm dial tone into a watch that reads as luxurious from across a room yet remains understated enough for every occasion.

The 28mm Oyster case is crafted in Rolex's proprietary Oystersteel, a 904L stainless steel alloy prized for its exceptional corrosion resistance and mirror-bright polish. Yellow gold—Rolex's own 18k alloy—is introduced on the bezel, the crown, and throughout the Jubilee bracelet's center links, creating the brand's beloved Rolesor two-tone aesthetic. The smooth domed yellow gold bezel is one of the cleaner, more classic options in the Lady-Datejust range, free of diamonds or fluting and therefore perfectly timeless.

The champagne dial gives reference 279163CSJ its warm, luminous character. Champagne dials have long been favored by Rolex collectors for the way they shift subtly under different lighting conditions—appearing closer to cream in softer light and taking on a golden warmth in sunlight. Applied hour markers index the dial in matching tones, maintaining a cohesive and polished look from dial center to case edge.

Power comes from a self-winding automatic movement, a hallmark of the Datejust line that ensures the watch keeps itself wound through the natural motion of the wearer's wrist. The Oyster case provides 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance, making this Lady-Datejust genuinely suitable for everyday life—swimming, travel, and the rigors of a full schedule included. The screw-down Triplock crown and solid case back that Rolex builds into the Oyster architecture are responsible for that robust water resistance.

The five-link Jubilee bracelet, introduced by Rolex in 1945 alongside the original Datejust, is widely regarded as one of the most comfortable and elegant bracelets the brand produces. On reference 279163CSJ the center links are rendered in yellow gold while the outer links are Oystersteel, echoing the two-tone palette of the case and bezel. The Crownclasp concealed folding clasp ensures a clean profile on the wrist and a secure, adjustable fit.
