WHY WE LOVE IT
–
It is perhaps one of the greatest injustices in horology that women's wristwatches have not historically received the same respect as their larger cased counterparts, resulting in far fewer executions worth collecting.
This is truly a shame - but fortunately, Rolex got the memo long before most, and have been producing outstanding ladies watches for over 50 years. And we're talking about the real thing - not those that utilize faux-gold, not-so-precious stones and batteries - Rolex's offerings are mechanical, functional, wearable art.
This Lady Datejust, a Reference 179179, dates to circa 2000 and features a solid 18K white gold case, a fluted white gold bezel, and a crisp, glossy white dial with applied white gold Roman indices and a matching handset. It comes fitted to a matching white gold solid link President bracelet with a hidden deployant clasp.
Checking all of the boxes as its larger brothers, this lovely piece can easily be worn as a dress watch or a demure daily driver for the lady who knows what proper watches are all about.
