Exceptionally rare and highly collectible, this Rolex Datejust 26 Ref. 79174 features the coveted ‘Aurora’ original mother of pearl (MOP) dial, showcasing mesmerising flashes of pink, mint, and ivory tones. Unlike aftermarket variations, this is a true factory-original dial, making it especially desirable among serious collectors.
Adorned with 10P diamond hour markers, the dial offers refined brilliance while maintaining the natural iridescence unique to mother of pearl. Each piece is inherently one-of-a-kind, with subtle colour shifts that elevate its exclusivity.
Framed by an 18K solid white gold fluted bezel, this watch is paired with a classic stainless steel Jubilee bracelet and fitted with an Oyster clasp, delivering the signature Rolex combination of elegance and durability.
Powered by a reliable automatic movement, it is built for both daily wear and long-term collecting.
This example is a K-series (circa 2001), adding vintage appeal and historical significance. The 26mm case size and this specific Aurora MOP dial are both fully discontinued, further enhancing its rarity and investment value.
It comes complete with its original tag and inner Rolex vintage red box, offering added authenticity and collectability.
