Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179163-DMOPRO Dark Mother of Pearl Roman Yellow Gold Stainless Steel Oyster - BRAND NEW

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied timepieces in watchmaking history, representing the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch to display the date on a dial — and the first to do so in a proportionally refined case sized specifically for women. Introduced in 1957 as the feminine counterpart to the iconic Datejust, the Lady-Datejust has never wavered from its mission: to deliver Rolex's uncompromising standards of precision and elegance in a watch that feels entirely at home on a woman's wrist. Reference 179163-DMOPRO continues that tradition in the most lustrous way imaginable.

The 26mm stainless steel Oyster case is the hallmark of Rolex's foundational architecture — hermetically sealed, robustly constructed, and finished with the brand's meticulous alternation of brushed and polished surfaces. At 26mm, the case sits close to the wrist with an understated footprint that nonetheless commands attention, the ideal balance of discretion and presence for a dress watch worn daily or on special occasions. The fluted yellow gold bezel crowns the case with warmth and texture, its vertical grooves catching the light in the same way they have since Rolex first introduced the fluted bezel as a functional screwdown element.

The true centerpiece of reference 179163-DMOPRO is its dark mother of pearl dial with Roman numeral hour markers. Mother of pearl is harvested from the inner lining of mollusk shells, and no two dials are ever identical — the mineral's crystalline structure produces a play of iridescent color that ranges from deep charcoal to violet, teal, and silver depending on the angle of light and the viewer's perspective. Roman numerals rendered in yellow gold tone lend the dial a classical horological sensibility, anchoring its natural drama in a timeless typographic tradition. The date aperture at three o'clock, framed by Rolex's signature Cyclops lens on the crystal, completes the dial's functionality without interrupting its visual harmony.

The two-tone Oyster bracelet — what Rolex calls Rolesor — interweaves yellow gold center links with stainless steel outer links, creating a fluid, jewelry-grade bracelet that complements the case and bezel perfectly. The Rolesor aesthetic has been part of Rolex's design vocabulary since 1933, and on the Lady-Datejust it achieves its most refined expression: supple enough to drape naturally over the wrist, substantial enough to convey genuine luxury. The Oyster bracelet's deployant clasp ensures a secure fit throughout the day, whether the watch is worn to a boardroom or a black-tie event.
