The Rolex Lady-Datejust reference 279174-0001 is a 28mm luxury timepiece featuring a White Rolesor construction, which combines a 904L Oystersteel case with an 18k white gold fluted bezel. This model is distinguished by its sunray-finished pink dial, adorned with white gold hour markers and hands treated with Chromalight luminescence for enhanced legibility. It is equipped with a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet crafted from Oystersteel, featuring a concealed folding Crownclasp that provides a seamless aesthetic.
At its core, the watch is powered by the in-house caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement that incorporates a Syloxi hairspring in silicon and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. This movement is a COSC-certified Superlative Chronometer, offering a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. The timepiece provides essential complications including center hour, minute, and seconds hands, alongside an instantaneous date window at 3 o’clock magnified by a Cyclops lens. Its Oyster case, fitted with a Twinlock screw-down crown and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensures water resistance up to 100 meters.
General reviews of the 279174-0001 frequently praise its classic proportions and the refined elegance of the pink sunray dial, which is noted for its ability to create delicate light reflections. The Jubilee bracelet is often highlighted for its exceptional comfort and supple feel on the wrist, making it a popular choice for daily wear. While the watch is widely regarded as a staple of feminine luxury and a reliable investment piece, some feedback notes that the 28mm size may feel small for those accustomed to modern oversized trends. However, its blend of robust Oystersteel and precious white gold remains a highly respected signature of the brand’s enduring design language.
