About the Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 279135RBR
The Lady-Datejust is one of Rolex's longest-running and most recognizable collections, tracing its roots to the original Datejust of 1945 and scaled specifically for women's wrists. Reference 279135RBR specifies the 28 mm Everose gold case paired with the brand's signature diamond-set bezel, a combination introduced as Rolex transitioned smaller Lady-Datejust models to the current 28 mm sizing. The collection is defined by its Oyster case construction, the iconic date window at three o'clock with Rolex's Cyclops lens magnification, and an extraordinary range of dial treatments that run from understated chocolate and white to the deeply opulent full diamond pavé. Because the case, bezel, and bracelet are all 18k Everose gold, every reference in this line carries substantial precious-metal content alongside its status as a certified Swiss manufacture timepiece.
What to Look For
When shopping the 279135RBR family, pay close attention to the dial suffix, as chocolate dials such as the RBRCSP and RBRCRP, warm sundust dials like the RBRSSP and RBRSDRP, and the diamond pavé RBRDPRP each command different premiums in the secondary market—with gem-set and pavé dials typically the most valuable. Bracelet style also varies across listings, with options that include the Oyster and Jubilee configurations, so confirming the bracelet reference in the full product title ensures you receive the exact configuration you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 279135RBR mean in the Rolex reference number?
In Rolex nomenclature, 279135 identifies the 28 mm Lady-Datejust in 18k Everose gold, while RBR denotes the diamond-set bezel specific to this configuration.

Are the diamonds on the 279135RBR set by Rolex or aftermarket?
All 279135RBR references listed in this collection feature factory-original Rolex diamond bezels, and many include factory diamond dials or diamond hour markers as well—none are aftermarket modifications. Bizak and Co. authenticates each piece to confirm that gem settings are genuine Rolex manufacture work, which is critical for warranty considerations and resale value.
Which dial color in the 279135RBR collection is most popular?
Sundust and chocolate dials are among the most sought-after in this reference family because their warm, earthy tones complement the Everose gold case particularly well, and they pair naturally with both casual and formal attire. The full diamond pavé variant appeals to buyers prioritizing maximum visual impact, while the white dial offers a cleaner, more classic aesthetic that remains perennially in demand.
