The Rolex Datejust 26 is the classic discontinued ladies’ Datejust size, combining compact proportions with one of Rolex’s most enduring watch designs. This example is distinguished by its original navy dial set with 10 diamond hour markers, framed by an 18K solid white gold fluted bezel and paired with an automatic movement — a refined configuration that balances jewellery-like detailing with everyday Rolex wearability.
Rolex has since discontinued the 26mm Datejust, making well-preserved examples increasingly relevant to collectors and buyers who prefer the smaller proportions of earlier-generation ladies’ Rolex watches.
The original navy dial is particularly striking, offering a richer and less conventional alternative to the more frequently encountered silver, champagne and white dials. Ten diamond hour markers add brilliance without overwhelming the watch, while the 18K white gold fluted bezel gives it the unmistakable Datejust profile.
Presented in mint condition with its Rolex box and tag, this is a compelling example for anyone specifically searching for a discontinued Rolex Datejust 26 with an original diamond dial.
The appeal here is the combination: discontinued 26mm proportions, an original navy dial, 10 diamond markers and the classic white gold fluted bezel. The navy gives this Datejust considerably more character while remaining understated enough for daily wear. At SGD 6,888, it is an attractive entry into a discontinued generation of the ladies’ Datejust, especially for collectors who prefer the elegant proportions of the traditional 26mm case.
