Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179174-MOPRFO White Mother of Pearl Roman Fluted White Gold Stainless Steel Oyster - BRAND NEW Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 179174-MOPRFO White Mother of…

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most enduring icons in watchmaking history, introduced in 1957 as the first self-winding, waterproof, and date-displaying wristwatch scaled specifically for women. Across more than six decades it has remained the definitive expression of understated luxury, worn by generations of discerning women who demand both precision and elegance in a single package. Reference 179174-MOPRFO represents the Lady-Datejust at its most classically appointed, blending materials and finishing choices that have defined the collection since its earliest years.

The 26mm Oyster case is crafted entirely from Rolex's proprietary 904L stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy more commonly associated with the chemical and aerospace industries, polished and brushed to a standard that sets it apart from virtually any other watch at this size. The Oyster architecture—with its screw-down crown and monobloc case back—encases the movement in a sealed environment that underpins the watch's legendary robustness. At 26mm the case diameter is perfectly proportioned for slender wrists, making this reference one of the most wearable fine watches in Rolex's current catalogue.

The dial of the 179174-MOPRFO is the watch's most captivating feature: a genuine white mother of pearl surface whose nacre origins give it a living, shifting luminosity that no painted or printed dial can replicate. Against that iridescent backdrop, applied Roman numeral hour markers provide classical legibility while lending the dial an haute joaillerie sensibility entirely in keeping with Rolex's top-tier Lady-Datejust configurations. The combination of mother of pearl and Roman numerals has long been considered the most formal and collectible dial specification within this reference family.

Framing the dial is a white gold fluted bezel, one of Rolex's most recognizable design signatures. The fluting motif dates to the brand's earliest Datejust references and was originally conceived to camouflage the knurling used to tighten the bezel onto the case; today it is a purely aesthetic flourish executed in precious white gold, adding both visual contrast and intrinsic value to the stainless steel case. The interplay of warm white gold against cool brushed steel is a subtlety that rewards close inspection and photographs beautifully under any light.

The three-link stainless steel Oyster bracelet echoes the case material seamlessly, its alternating polished center links and brushed outer links providing texture and visual depth on the wrist. The bracelet terminates in Rolex's secure folding Crownclasp, ensuring the watch stays safely in place throughout the day. Because this example is brand new, the bracelet retains its factory crispness—no stretched links, no worn surfaces—a rarity that collectors and first-time Rolex buyers alike should not overlook.
