Details
The White Pyramid Roman Dial
The Datejust has served as Rolex's core offering for decades, defined by its blend of practicality and elegance. While most examples feature classic sunburst or lacquer dials, Rolex periodically released more artistic variations for clients who wanted something different. This reference 79173 is one such piece, equipped with a rare textured "Pyramid" dial. This geometric pattern adds a layer of depth and visual interest that sets it apart from the standard catalog, showing a more design-forward side of the brand's most traditional watch.
Textured Dial In A Classic Case
This Lady-Datejust is configured in the classic 26mm size, rendered in stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. The proportions are balanced by the fluted gold bezel and two-tone Jubilee bracelet, quintessential Rolex design codes. The centerpiece is the dial itself, a white surface finished with a repeating three-dimensional pyramid pattern. Applied Roman numerals in yellow gold complete the layout. This specific combination of the textured dial with the two-tone case and bracelet makes for a less common and more expressive take on the reference.
A Clean Dial And Sharp Bezel
The dial's intricate pyramid texture remains crisp and well-defined, with a light, even patina that's consistent with its age. This example is in very good condition, with a sharp fluted bezel and a case that shows only minor signs of wear. The two-tone Jubilee bracelet is in good order, showing minimal stretch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Detail Beyond The Standard Datejust
A standard Lady-Datejust with a flat white or champagne dial is a perfect, traditional choice. This example, however, offers a level of surface detail that the common variants can't match. The pyramid dial's geometric texture interacts with light in a way a simple sunburst finish doesn't, creating subtle shifts in appearance as the wrist moves. It delivers the same reliability and brand recognition as any other Datejust, but adds a layer of design that rewards closer inspection. It's an alternative for the owner who appreciates the icon but prefers a less common execution.
