The Everose Lady-Datejust. Rose gold, pink dial.

The Lady-Datejust is the Datejust at 26mm, the size Rolex made for women from the 1950s until it moved the line to 28mm in 2015. It is the same watch in miniature: an Oyster case with a screw-down crown, an automatic chronometer movement, the date under its Cyclops lens at three, a fluted or engine-turned bezel, and a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet. Because Rolex made them for six decades in every dial and metal, the pre-owned market is deep and this is where the money goes when people search for a women’s Rolex.

Everose is Rolex’s own pink gold alloy, introduced in 2005 with a little platinum in the mix so the colour does not fade, and the 179171 is the Lady-Datejust that pairs it with steel: rose bezel, rose crown, rose centre links on the Jubilee, and here a pink dial to match. It is the warm alternative to the yellow two-tone that most of this page is made of, and it photographs quieter on the wrist. WGACA grades it Excellent with faint scuffing on the bezel and says nothing about box or papers, so ask.

WGACA gives the reference as 179171, the size as 26mm, the dial as pink, the movement as automatic with a quickset date, the clasp as a hidden crown clasp, and the condition as Excellent with faint scuffing on the bezel. It does not state box, papers or year. The Everose bezel, baton markers and Jubilee bracelet are from the photograph and match Rolex’s catalogue for the 179171; the calibre, chronometer rating, reserve and 100 metres are Rolex’s published figures for the reference.

WGACA authenticates in-house and is not a Rolex authorised dealer, and Amazon adds its 30-day return window. Ask for the serial, whether box or papers come with it, and when it was last serviced. Nothing here was measured on the watch.

This unit is sold by What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA) through Amazon Luxury Stores, authenticated by the seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window on top; it is one piece, and when it sells the listing goes away, so the second button opens the live search for 26mm Lady-Datejusts.

Steel and two-tone Lady-Datejusts have resold close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
