Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 28 mm 279173SRO Steel/Yellow Gold Silver

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied watches in the history of fine watchmaking, and the modern Lady-Datejust 28 carries that legacy forward in a perfectly proportioned 28 mm case. Reference 279173SRO sits at an especially desirable point in the collection, pairing the hardwearing Oystersteel case construction with 18k yellow gold accents that give the watch unmistakable warmth and luxury presence. For buyers searching for a two-tone Rolex dress watch that wears beautifully on smaller wrists, this reference is among the most sought-after references on the secondary market today.

The silver dial of the 279173SRO is dressed with Roman numeral hour markers, a detail that lends the watch a classical, almost architectural elegance. Roman numerals have been a signature option on the Datejust family for decades, favored by collectors who prefer a dial that reads as genuinely dressy rather than sportily minimal. The contrasting yellow gold fluted bezel frames the dial with a geometric, light-catching texture that is instantly recognizable as Rolex and complements the warm tones of the two-tone case and bracelet perfectly.

The Oyster bracelet keeps the watch firmly in Rolex's sport-luxury aesthetic while ensuring comfort and security for all-day wear. Its three-link construction in Oystersteel with yellow gold center links mirrors the case material combination, creating a visually unified and cohesive look on the wrist. The Oysterlock safety clasp, a hallmark of Rolex's engineering philosophy, ensures the bracelet stays securely fastened during any activity.

An automatic movement beats at the heart of this Lady-Datejust 28, delivering the reliable self-winding performance Rolex calibers are celebrated for worldwide. The watch carries a water resistance rating of 100 metres (330 feet), underscoring the robust Oyster case construction and making it genuinely suitable for swimming and light aquatic use — a meaningful practical advantage over many dress watches of comparable elegance. This combination of haute horlogerie finishing and real-world resilience is a defining Rolex virtue.
