Lady-Datejust 26 Champagne Diamond Dial 18K Yellow Gold Steel Oyster 179173CDO

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179173 in the CDO configuration is a quintessential classic from the previous 26 mm generation, seamlessly blending iconic design elements with undeniable luxury. This model features the traditional two-tone blend known as Yellow Rolesor (the harmonious fusion of Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold). The watch gains immediate recognition and sparkling appeal from its iconic 18K Yellow Gold Fluted Bezel, a signature Rolex element renowned for its light-catching brilliance and textural depth.

The centerpiece of the watch is the rich and traditional Champagne finish dial . This warm golden hue provides an opulent and perfectly complementary foundation against the yellow gold of the bezel and case. The luxury factor is significantly amplified by sparkling Diamond Hour Markers (typically 10 brilliant-cut stones), which are elegantly set in 18K Yellow Gold, ensuring superb clarity and a magnificent display of brilliance against the shimmering champagne field.
