The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179174 is a classic ladies’ luxury watch combining a 26mm stainless-steel Oyster case, 18k white gold fluted bezel, automatic movement, and signature date display.
Its combination of stainless steel and white gold, known by Rolex as White Rolesor, gives the watch an elegant appearance while maintaining the versatility of an everyday timepiece.
26mm Oyster Case with White Gold Fluted Bezel
The Lady-Datejust 179174 features a 26mm stainless-steel case with a distinctive 18k white gold fluted bezel. The polished fluting reflects light from different angles, providing one of the most recognizable design elements of the Datejust collection.
A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, with Rolex’s signature Cyclops magnification lens positioned over the date window at 3 o’clock.
The watch was originally rated for 100 meters of water resistance. For a pre-owned example, pressure testing is recommended before exposure to water.
Dial and Classic Datejust Design
The Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174 was produced in several dial configurations, including silver, white, black, pink, and mother-of-pearl, with different hour-marker styles.
Its classic design features central hour, minute, and seconds hands, together with a date display at 3 o’clock. The combination of a fluted bezel and compact case gives this model a refined appearance suitable for both everyday and formal wear.
Rolex Calibre 2235 Automatic Movement
The watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 2235, a self-winding mechanical movement featuring a quickset date, approximately 48 hours of power reserve, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.
This movement combines traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking with the convenience of automatic winding.
Stainless-Steel Bracelet
The Lady-Datejust 179174 was offered with stainless-steel Jubilee and Oyster bracelet configurations.
The Jubilee bracelet provides a more jewelry-inspired appearance, while the three-link Oyster bracelet offers a simpler, sportier look. Both complement the stainless-steel case and white gold fluted bezel.
