Description

Rolex Lady-Datejust 79159 - Stunning Mother of Pearl Dial - 18K White Gold and Factory Diamonds

Introduced in 1957, the Lady-Datejust represented the feminine counterpart to the iconic Datejust, translating its defining characteristics into more compact proportions. With its 26 mm case size, it was conceived as a refined automatic wristwatch designed around the same principles of reliability, functionality and enduring elegance that defined the original Datejust.

Reference 79159 belongs to the five-digit generation of the Lady-Datejust family and was produced around the turn of the millennium. Executed in 18K white gold, this reference represents one of the most sophisticated interpretations of the model, distinguished by its bezel and lugs fully set with factory princess-cut diamonds. This exceptional gem-setting transforms the watch into a true jewellery creation, enhancing the elegance of the 26 mm Oyster case while preserving the reliability, proportions and timeless design that define the Lady-Datejust collection.

Among the most precious and sought-after configurations of the Lady-Datejust collection are those fitted with mother-of-pearl dials. Each dial displays unique natural variations in colour, texture and iridescence, giving every example an individual character and further enhancing the jewellery-inspired nature of these exceptional creations.

Powered by the Rolex self-winding calibre 2235 and featuring the iconic date display beneath the Cyclops lens, the Lady-Datejust 79159 combines precious materials with practical everyday functionality. Its refined proportions, mechanical reliability and exceptional gem-set execution make it one of the most elegant expressions of Rolex’s ladies’ watchmaking.

The present example is offered in excellent overall condition and is presented without its original box and accessories. The mother-of-pearl dial shows a small natural crack, which does not compromise its remarkable visual depth, iridescence and unique character, preserving the distinctive beauty of this rare and highly desirable configuration. A remarkable opportunity for collectors seeking an exceptional and highly refined Rolex Lady-Datejust.
