The Rolex Lady-Datejust reference 279175-0014 is an elegant timepiece featuring a 28mm Oyster case crafted from 18 kt Everose gold, an exclusive pink gold alloy patented by Rolex. This model is characterized by its sunray-finished chocolate dial, which is adorned with applied 18 kt rose gold Roman numeral hour markers. The case is equipped with a fluted bezel, a signature Rolex aesthetic that originally served a functional purpose for waterproofing, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens positioned over the date window. It is presented on a prestigious President bracelet, which consists of semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp for a seamless look.
At the heart of the watch is the Manufacture Rolex caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement that incorporates a Syloxi hairspring in silicon to provide high resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variations. This COSC-certified Superlative Chronometer offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and maintains a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. The watch is built with a Twinlock double waterproofness system and a screw-down crown, ensuring water resistance up to 100 meters. Its primary complications include center hour, minute, and seconds hands, along with an instantaneous date display with rapid setting and stop-seconds for precise time adjustment.
General reviews of the Lady-Datejust 28 highlight its classic proportions and the sophisticated contrast between the warm Everose gold and the deep chocolate dial. Collectors and enthusiasts often praise the model for its blend of jewelry-like elegance and robust watchmaking standards, noting that the President bracelet offers exceptional comfort and a refined aesthetic. While it is widely regarded as a premier choice for a luxury women’s sports-chic watch, some reviewers suggest that the 28mm size is best suited for those who prefer a traditional, smaller profile compared to the larger 31mm or 36mm Datejust alternatives.
