These dials require an incredibly delicate production process where a thin slice of organic shell is bonded to the metal dial plate. Because the material is natural, the visual depth and texture are impossible to replicate with paint or lacquer. This specific example is particularly notable for its color-shifting properties. Depending on how the light hits the surface, the dial moves between vibrant yellow, crisp white, and deep orange tones. The addition of factory diamond markers elevates this from a standard production model into a genuine piece of jewelry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSophisticated High Tier Execution\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lady Datejust has long been a staple of the Rolex catalog, but the use of exotic organic materials marks a specific level of luxury within the line. Produced in 1999, this A-serial piece comes from an era where Rolex began leaning into more adventurous dial configurations for their precious metal and two-tone models. Finding a Mother of Pearl dial that has this specific golden spectrum is rare, as most retain a cooler, pearlescent white tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExceptional Preservation And Mechanical Health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch is in very good overall condition. The Mother of Pearl dial is perfect and free of any hairline cracks, which is the primary concern with these organic dials. The sapphire crystal is clear and the 18K yellow gold bezel is sharp. The matching two-tone Jubilee bracelet has very little sag and retains its original structural integrity. Mechanically, the watch is confirmed to be running strong after passing by our test bench.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eA Distinctive Daily Identity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a perfect choice for someone who appreciates the timeless look of a two-tone Rolex but wants a dial that is genuinely rare. It provides a level of exclusivity that standard champagne dials cannot offer. This is a well-preserved example of a high-tier factory configuration that remains as relevant today as it was in the late nineties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Danny's Vintage Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54846994841891,"sku":null,"price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF3480.jpg?v=1773934217","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1999-rolex-lady-datejust-79173-two-tone-mother-of-pearl-diamond-dial","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
