Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179179-BLKRP Black Roman Fluted White Gold President - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most enduring icons in watchmaking history, introduced in 1957 as the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch sized specifically for women. For decades it has represented the intersection of Swiss precision and understated luxury, worn by accomplished women across every generation. Reference 179179-BLKRP sits at the summit of the Lady-Datejust range, specifying an all-18k white gold build that transforms a classic everyday watch into a genuinely fine jewelry timepiece.

The 26mm case is fashioned entirely from 18k white gold, a material prized for its cool, silvery brilliance and its exceptional resistance to tarnish. At 26mm the proportions are elegantly restrained, sitting flush and flat against the wrist in a way that communicates refinement rather than statement. The fluted bezel — one of the most recognizable design signatures in the entire Rolex catalog — is also rendered in 18k white gold, its precisely machined grooves catching light from every angle and reinforcing the monochromatic white-gold theme across the watch's full profile.

The black dial with Roman numeral indexes is the defining aesthetic choice of the 179179-BLKRP configuration. The deep, lacquer-black surface creates a dramatic high-contrast backdrop that makes the white gold Roman numerals immediately legible while simultaneously evoking a sense of evening-watch formality. Roman numerals have appeared on Datejust dials since the earliest references and carry a classical, almost architectural gravity that Arabic numerals cannot replicate — they position this watch squarely within a tradition of dressy, heirloom-quality timekeeping.

Power comes from a Rolex automatic movement, the brand's self-winding mechanical caliber appropriate to the Lady-Datejust 26 series, ensuring the precision and reliability for which Rolex is universally recognized. The movement winds itself through the motion of the wearer's wrist, requiring no battery and minimal maintenance when worn regularly. Rolex movements are manufactured and tested entirely in-house in Geneva to standards that exceed official Swiss chronometer certification.

The President bracelet completes the picture. Conceived by Rolex in 1956 and named in honor of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the President bracelet is reserved exclusively for Day-Date and the finest Lady-Datejust configurations — it is never used on steel Rolex models and therefore functions as an unmistakable marker of the collection's highest tier. In 18k white gold it is supple, weighty, and deeply satisfying on the wrist. Bizak & Co. offers this brand-new reference 179179-BLKRP for sale with full confidence in its authenticity and condition.
