This luxurious Lady Datejust features a 28mm Oyster case crafted entirely from solid 18 karat yellow gold, complemented by Rolex’s iconic fluted bezel and the prestigious President bracelet. The watch exemplifies the enduring sophistication that has made the Lady Datejust one of the most recognizable ladies’ timepieces in the world.

This particular example is distinguished by its stunning champagne dial adorned with brilliant diamond hour markers and the highly sought after Roman numeral VI set with diamonds, creating a beautiful balance between classic styling and modern luxury. The luminous yellow gold hands and applied Rolex crown at 12 o’clock enhance legibility while maintaining the watch’s unmistakable elegance.
