Lady-Datejust 26 Ivory Sunbeam Diamond Dial 18K Yellow Gold Steel Jubilee 179173IVDJ

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 26 Ref. 179173 in the IVDJ configuration is a sophisticated and highly desirable timepiece from the previous 26 mm generation, known for its rare and detailed dial finish. This model is constructed using the iconic two-tone aesthetic, known as Yellow Rolesor (the harmonious fusion of Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold). The watch is instantly identifiable and gains brilliant visual depth from its iconic 18K Yellow Gold Fluted Bezel, a signature Rolex element renowned for its light-catching brilliance and intricate texture.

The centerpiece of this exquisite timepiece is the highly specialized Ivory Sunbeam Diamond Dial . The “Ivory” hue is a soft, creamy white or pale champagne color, lending the dial a vintage warmth. The “Sunbeam” characteristic refers to an intricate texture radiating outward from the center, often resembling fine sun rays, which gives the dial a beautiful, dynamic dimensionality. Adorning this textured surface are 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.
