The Rolex Datejust 26 Ref. 79173 with its original champagne diamond dial is a timeless expression of classic Rolex elegance, combining the warmth of 18K yellow gold with the durability of stainless steel. Featuring the iconic two-tone Jubilee bracelet, fluted gold bezel and 10 original diamond hour markers, this Y-series timepiece captures the refined sophistication of the ladies' Datejust collection. Its petite 26mm proportions and automatic movement reflect Rolex's enduring commitment to precision, craftsmanship and understated luxury.
What makes this particular Datejust especially desirable is its original champagne gold dial adorned with 10 original diamond markers, preserving the classic aesthetic that has made two-tone Rolex watches enduring favourites among collectors. The harmonious combination of champagne, yellow gold and stainless steel creates a beautifully cohesive appearance, while the excellent bracelet condition adds to its appeal as a vintage timepiece. As a Y-series example, this Ref. 79173 represents an early-2000s generation of the Datejust, offering collectors an opportunity to acquire a recognisable Rolex design with authentic period character.
WLCSG Curator Note: We particularly appreciate the timeless warmth of the champagne diamond dial against the 18K yellow gold fluted bezel, a combination that has become synonymous with classic Rolex elegance. The original 10-diamond configuration introduces just the right amount of brilliance without overwhelming the watch's refined proportions. With its excellent bracelet condition and accompanying Rolex box and tag, this Datejust is a beautiful choice for collectors seeking an elegant everyday timepiece or a meaningful luxury gift. At SGD6,888, it offers an opportunity to own one of Rolex's most enduring ladies' designs.
