The Rolex Lady-Datejust 28 reference 279135RBR-0016 is a 28mm luxury timepiece crafted from 18k Everose gold, a proprietary pink gold alloy designed to retain its luster over time. This model features a chocolate brown dial with a sunray finish, accented by applied polished Roman numeral hour markers and a date window at the 3 o’clock position with a Cyclops magnifying lens.
