Lady-Datejust – M279173-0008
Silver dial
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity
and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from gold to prevent tarnishing,
every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
The Fluted Bezel
The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had
a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the
waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which
was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time,
the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted
bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Lady-Datejust.
Yellow Rolesor
Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together,
they harmoniously combine the best of their properties. A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has
featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933.
It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.
MODEL AVAILABILITY
All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional
quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times,
the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity. Therefore, the availability of
certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official
Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the
allocation and sales of watches to customers. Panda is proud to be part of the
worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the
availability of Rolex watches.
