Lady-Datejust – M279173-0008

Screw-down, Twinlock double waterproofness system

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.
