Lady-Datejust 26 Blue Vignette Diamond Dial 18K Yellow Gold Steel Oyster Bracelet 179173BLVDO

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179173 in the BLVDO configuration is an exceptionally luxurious and rare timepiece from the previous 26 mm generation, featuring 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 centerpiece: a stunning Blue Vignette finish . The vignette effect transitions from a lighter blue center to a deeper, almost black blue at the edges, offering incredible visual depth. The dial is completed by sparkling Diamond Hour Markers (typically 10 diamonds), set in 18K Yellow Gold, offering maximum brilliance against the mesmerizing blue backdrop.
