Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179239-BLKRP Black Roman Diamond Set Fluted White Gold President - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied watches in the history of fine watchmaking, introduced in 1957 as the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch with an automatically changing date created specifically for women. In the decades since, the Lady-Datejust has evolved into a horological icon that effortlessly bridges the worlds of precision timekeeping and haute jewellery, earning a permanent place on the wrists of discerning collectors and style-conscious wearers the world over. Reference 179239-BLKRP represents the Lady-Datejust at its most refined, combining the model's most luxurious materials and finishing into a single 26mm statement.

The 26mm case of the 179239-BLKRP is crafted entirely from 18k white gold, Rolex's proprietary blend that is celebrated for its exceptional brightness, hardness, and resistance to fading over time. White gold lends the case a cool, platinum-like luminosity that pairs beautifully with the watch's black dial, creating the kind of high-contrast composition that photographs exceptionally and reads with equal clarity on the wrist. The case's proportions are quintessentially Lady-Datejust: elegant and wearable, sized to complement rather than dominate.

The fluted white gold bezel is one of the Lady-Datejust's most recognisable design signatures, its precisely machined serrations catching the light from every angle and adding a subtle architectural rhythm to the watch's profile. Complementing the bezel is the black Roman numeral dial, a configuration that channels the aesthetic language of classic dress watchmaking while the diamond-set hour positions add a layer of jewellery-quality brilliance. The result is a dial that is simultaneously legible and breathtaking, anchored by Rolex's signature date aperture at three o'clock with a cyclops lens for effortless reading.

Powering the 179239-BLKRP is a Rolex-certified automatic movement, ensuring the self-winding mechanical precision that has underpinned every Datejust since its inception. Rolex movements are manufactured in-house at the brand's Geneva facilities and are certified as Superlative Chronometers, a designation that guarantees performance accuracy to standards exceeding those required by official Swiss chronometer certification. The movement winds bidirectionally through a Perpetual rotor, meaning the watch keeps itself running through the natural motion of the wearer's wrist.

The President bracelet in 18k white gold is perhaps the most prestigious link configuration in the Rolex catalogue, its semi-circular three-piece links and concealed Crown Clasp giving the bracelet a fluid, jewellery-like drape that has been synonymous with success and refinement since the bracelet's introduction. On the 26mm Lady-Datejust, the President bracelet completes a harmonious all-white-gold composition that makes reference 179239-BLKRP as much an heirloom piece as a wristwatch. This example is offered brand new, complete with box and papers, ensuring full traceability and manufacturer warranty coverage.
