Q: What defines the Rolex Lady-Datejust 26mm Ref. 179174? A: Produced circa 2012, this Ref. 179174 is a sophisticated example of the modern Lady-Datejust. It features the now-discontinued 26mm Oyster case crafted from stainless steel and an 18ct white gold fluted bezel (a combination known as White Rolesor). This specific piece is distinguished by its stunning blue dial with Roman numeral hour markers and a classic Jubilee bracelet.
Q: Is the 26mm size still produced by Rolex? A: No, Rolex has ceased production of the 26mm Lady-Datejust, having replaced it with a larger 28mm version. Consequently, late-model 26mm references like this one are highly sought after by those who prefer the classic, petite proportions of the original design.
Q: What movement powers this watch? A: This model is equipped with the Rolex Calibre 2235, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely manufactured by Rolex. It is a COSC-certified chronometer known for its exceptional precision and reliability. It also features a Quickset function, allowing you to easily adjust the date via the crown.
Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal? A: Yes. As a modern reference, this watch is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It also includes the signature Cyclops lens at the 3 o'clock position, which magnifies the date by 2.5 times for improved legibility.
Q: Is the watch water-resistant? A: The Oyster case was originally rated for 100 metres of water resistance. While the included Rolex Service Card indicates recent maintenance, we advise treating pre-owned luxury timepieces with care. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering with the watch to preserve its condition.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: This timepiece is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 16cm. The Jubilee bracelet is designed for comfort, but please measure your wrist to ensure this size is sufficient, as it is slightly shorter than the standard full length.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This watch comes with a valuable Rolex Service Card with a guarantee valid until December 2026. This confirms the watch has been officially serviced and authenticated by Rolex. It does not include the original box or original papers but is delivered in secure packaging.
Q: What is the condition of the watch? A: The watch is in Very Good condition. It displays light traces of use appropriate for a pre-owned piece, with shiny hardware and minor surface scratches. Please review the images to appreciate its well-maintained state.
