Lady-Datejust 26 Black Mother-of-Pearl Diamond Dial Yellow Gold Steel Jubilee 179173BKMDJ

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179173 in the BKMDJ configuration is a highly luxurious and unique timepiece from the previous 26 mm generation, showcasing the classic two-tone combination of Yellow Rolesor (Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold). The watch is framed by the signature 18K Yellow Gold Fluted Bezel, a defining Rolex feature that provides brilliant light reflection. The dial is the showpiece: a distinctive Black Mother-of-Pearl (MOP) finish . This rare, naturally sourced material offers deep, shifting colors and dark iridescence, ensuring that no two dials are exactly alike. The dial’s opulence is completed by sparkling Diamond Hour Markers, set in 18K Yellow Gold, offering maximum brilliance against the mysterious MOP background.
