Lady-Datejust 26 Champagne Ruby Numerals Fluted Bezel Dial Yellow Gold Steel Jubilee 179173CRRJ

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179173 in the CRRJ configuration is a truly distinctive and highly luxurious model from the previous 26 mm generation, standing out for its use of precious gemstones as hour markers. This timepiece is crafted in the classic two-tone aesthetic known as Yellow Rolesor (the harmonious fusion of Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold). Visual excitement is provided by the iconic 18K Yellow Gold Fluted Bezel, a signature Rolex element renowned for its brilliant light reflection and intricate texture.

The dial is the watch’s unique focal point, showcasing the traditional and warm Champagne finish . This rich golden tone offers an opulent and perfectly complementary foundation against the yellow gold of the case and bezel. The luxury is further elevated by the highly unusual choice of markers: elegant Ruby Hour Numerals (typically set in 18K Yellow Gold), replacing the standard indices. These precious red gemstones, often used for 6 and 9 o’clock or sometimes for all hours except 12, 3, and the date aperture, give the dial a rare, rich splash of color and an unmistakable bespoke feel.
