About this watch

Band: Yellow Gold (President) Clasp: Gold Crownclasp (Deployant) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 Bar This Rolex Lady Datejust ref. 79178 dates from 1995 and is in very good condition. Its 26 mm case is made from 18-ct yellow gold with a lug to lug of around 31.5 mm and a depth of just 7.4 mm despite offering 10 bar of pressure resistance and containing over 180 parts. This rating makes the watch suitable for surface swimming with proper care and maintenance. The champagne (gold) dial features applied Roman numerals in 18-ct, a colour-matched date disc at 3, and an applied Rolex coronet at 12. Protecting the non-lumed 18-ct handset is a scratch-resistant sapphire. This man-made crystal offers exceptional durability and clarity. Surrounding the sapphire is a Rolex design icon: the fluted yellow gold bezel. Formerly functional, the bezel now serves to beautifully catch the light and minimise the appearance of scratches. This ref. 79178 is set on a 'President' style bracelet in 18-ct. It secures to the wrist with a Crownclasp. This elegant system keeps the watch sitting close to the wrist with no bulky clasp. Beating at 4 Hz behind the gold caseback is the in-house automatic Rolex calibre 2235. It offers very good shock and magnetic resistance, ease of servicing, and parts availability. This Rolex Lady Datejust has just been through our service centre, Watch Tech, and is covered by our two-year VWC warranty.
