Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 Ref. M279178-0025
18 ct Yellow Gold – Diamond-Set Bezel – White Mother-of-Pearl Diamond Dial – President Bracelet
Overview
The Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 Ref. M279178-0025 is a timeless celebration of elegance and femininity, designed for women who appreciate both luxury and precision. Since its debut in 1957, the Lady-Datejust has been the quintessential ladies’ Rolex, blending the technical mastery of the Oyster Perpetual with refined proportions and dazzling aesthetics.
This reference is crafted entirely from 18 ct yellow gold, radiating warmth and prestige. Its most captivating feature is the white mother-of-pearl dial, adorned with brilliant-cut diamond hour markers. No two mother-of-pearl dials are ever the same; each piece reflects light with a unique iridescence, shifting in color and depth depending on the angle, making every watch truly one of a kind. Framing the dial, a diamond-set fluted bezel adds scintillating brilliance, catching light with every movement.
The watch is paired with the iconic President bracelet, introduced in 1956 with the original Day-Date, and later adopted by the Lady-Datejust for its perfect balance of elegance and comfort. With semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed Crownclasp, the bracelet drapes gracefully around the wrist, offering both suppleness and security.
At its core lies the Calibre 2236, a new-generation movement developed and manufactured entirely by Rolex. It incorporates a Syloxi silicon hairspring, resistant to temperature variations and magnetic fields, and Paraflex shock absorbers for greater durability. With a 55-hour power reserve, stop-seconds for precise setting, and 100 meters of water resistance, this Lady-Datejust is as practical as it is beautiful.
More than a watch, the Lady-Datejust 28 M279178-0025 is a jewel of horology, a timepiece that transitions effortlessly from everyday elegance to evening sophistication. It represents the very essence of Rolex: precision, durability, and beauty that endures.
