Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179173-MOPRDRJ White Mother of Pearl Roman Diamond VI Fluted Yellow Gold Stainless Steel Jubilee Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179173-MOPRDRJ White Mother of…

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied timepieces in the history of Swiss watchmaking. Introduced in 1957 as the first watch of its kind scaled specifically for the female wrist, the Lady-Datejust brought the prestige of the Datejust family—already celebrated for its self-winding movement and instantaneous date display—to an elegantly proportioned 26mm case. Across more than six decades, it has remained a benchmark of tasteful luxury, worn by icons of culture, art, and business worldwide. Reference 179173-MOPRDRJ represents the model at its most enchanting, pairing Rolex's enduring engineering pedigree with materials chosen to captivate.

The 26mm stainless steel case of the 179173-MOPRDRJ is impeccably finished with the polished and brushed surfaces that Rolex's craftspeople have refined over generations. At just 26mm in diameter, the case sits with perfect propriety on the wrist—substantial enough to command attention yet delicate enough to slip beneath a cuffed blouse or evening gown without a moment's hesitation. The Oyster case architecture beneath the surface ensures the robustness and reliability that define every Rolex, protecting the movement within from the demands of daily life.

The dial of this reference is its most arresting feature: a white mother-of-pearl surface whose natural iridescence shifts with every change of light, cycling through soft creams, pinks, and silvers in a display no printed or lacquered dial can replicate. Roman numeral hour markers punctuate the chapter ring with classical authority, while the VI marker receives a diamond-set treatment that adds a discreet but unmistakable flash of brilliance. The result is a dial that rewards close inspection and captures the eye from across a room in equal measure.

Framing the dial is a fluted bezel in 18-karat yellow gold, one of Rolex's most recognizable design signatures. The fluted bezel was originally conceived as a functional screw-down element; today it is a symbol of Rolex craftsmanship and heritage, its faceted ridges catching the light in counterpoint to the mother-of-pearl below. The warm yellow gold tone flows naturally into the two-tone Jubilee bracelet—a five-link design that Rolex introduced in 1945 alongside the Datejust and has since become synonymous with the model's identity. Alternating yellow gold and stainless steel center links deliver visual richness while the steel outer links provide durability, and the bracelet's supple articulation conforms to the wrist with a comfort that owners consistently describe as exceptional.
