Q: What defines the Rolex Lady-Datejust 26mm Ref. 179174? A: Produced in 2007, this Ref. 179174 is a sought-after example of the modern classic Lady-Datejust. It features the traditional 26mm Oyster case crafted in 'White Rolesor'—Rolex’s signature combination of a robust stainless steel case and an elegant 18k white gold fluted bezel.
Q: What type of bracelet does this watch have? A: This model is fitted with the iconic five-piece link Jubilee bracelet in stainless steel. A defining feature of the Ref. 179174 is the 'Concealed Folding Crownclasp', which hides the fastening mechanism to create a seamless, jewellery-like appearance around the wrist.
Q: Which movement powers this timepiece? A: It is powered by the Rolex Calibre 2235, a robust self-winding automatic movement. It is COSC-certified for precision and features a Quickset function, allowing you to rapidly adjust the date display without rotating the hands through a full 24-hour cycle.
Q: Is the 26mm size still produced by Rolex? A: No. Rolex has discontinued the 26mm Lady-Datejust in favour of a slightly larger 28mm version. As a result, late-model 26mm references like this 179174 are increasingly desirable for those who prefer the classic, petite proportions.
Q: What does "Full Set" mean for this listing? A: This watch is sold as a complete collector's set. It includes the original box, the original warranty papers dating to 2007, and two extra bracelet links, ensuring provenance and value.
Q: Is the watch water-resistant? A: The Oyster case was originally rated for a water resistance of 100 metres. However, as this is a pre-owned timepiece from 2007, we cannot guarantee the seals remain at factory specifications without a fresh pressure test. We advise treating the watch as splash-resistant only.
Q: What is the condition of this specific watch? A: This piece is in Excellent condition. The internal movement is functioning perfectly, while the exterior hardware is shiny with only light scratches consistent with careful use.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: The watch is currently sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 16.5cm. As this is a full set, it also includes two extra links that can be added to accommodate a larger wrist size.
