2000 Rolex Lady Datejust 79173 - Two-Tone Mother of Pearl Diamond Dial

Details
The Foundational Rolex, Elevated
The Datejust is the watch that established the modern Rolex template. First released in 1945, it defined the category of a robust, automatic, waterproof calendar wristwatch. This example from 2000 carries that original DNA, but elevates it with a factory Mother of Pearl dial set with diamonds. It takes the most iconic design in the catalog and renders it in its most refined form, shifting the watch from a daily staple into a piece of jewelry.
A Unique Slice Of Mother Of Pearl
No two Mother of Pearl dials are exactly alike. Depending on the part of the shell it is extracted from, the color and texture can vary dramatically. This example features a particularly warm, yellow-toned slice of MOP, giving it a distinct character that separates it from the more common white or silver variants. With factory-set diamond hour markers at six and nine o'clock, the configuration is balanced, luxurious, and specific. It is a top-tier execution of the classic 26mm lady's reference.
Unpolished And Excellent
This example is in excellent, unpolished condition. The case retains its original factory lines and sharp definition. The two-tone Jubilee bracelet is tight and clean, showing little sign of wear. The Mother of Pearl dial showcases its natural iridescence. Accompanied by its original warranty card and hang tag, this is a well-preserved and complete set. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Timeless Form, Precious Materials
This watch is for the person who wants the absolute standard in a ladies' timepiece, but executed with superior materials. It combines the bulletproof reliability and timeless design of the Datejust with the unique beauty of a natural stone dial. The 26mm case is a classic size that remains elegant and unobtrusive on the wrist, while the flash of gold and diamonds makes it clear this is a special piece. It is a watch that works in any setting and will never go out of style.
