The Rolex Datejust 26 is one of the most iconic ladies' luxury watches ever created, combining timeless elegance with Rolex's renowned precision and reliability. Featuring an exceptionally rare original Pink Mother of Pearl dial with factory diamond hour markers, this discontinued reference represents one of the most sought-after configurations for collectors who appreciate natural gemstone dials and factory originality.
This U-series (1998) Rolex Datejust 26 is fitted with an original Rolex Pink Mother of Pearl dial, prized for its beautiful pastel pink iridescence often affectionately referred to by collectors as the "Unicorn" or "Paddle Pop Pink" Mother of Pearl dial. Unlike standard white Mother of Pearl, each dial exhibits its own naturally unique play of colours, making no two examples exactly alike.
Complementing the dial are 10 original factory diamond hour markers and Rolex's signature 18K solid white gold fluted bezel, creating one of the most elegant ladies' Datejust configurations ever produced. Powered by Rolex's reliable automatic movement, this discontinued 26mm reference remains highly desirable among collectors seeking classic proportions and authentic factory specifications. Complete with its original box and tag, this watch presents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of Rolex's most beautiful natural stone dial creations.
WLCSG Curator Note:
Among vintage ladies' Rolex watches, the Pink Mother of Pearl "Unicorn" dial is regarded as one of the most captivating factory dial options ever produced. Its soft pastel tones and ever-changing iridescence are impossible to replicate, ensuring every watch possesses its own individual character. Combined with the 18K white gold fluted bezel, factory diamond hour markers, and complete accessories, this discontinued Datejust 26 is a collector-grade Rolex that offers rarity, timeless elegance, and enduring desirability.
