Rolex Lady Datejust 'Mother Of Pearl'

It is perhaps one of the greatest injustices in horology that women's wristwatches have not historically received the same respect as their larger cased counterparts, resulting in far fewer executions worth collecting.  This is truly a shame - but fortunately, Rolex got the memo long before most, and have been producing outstanding ladies watches for over 50 years. And we're talking about the real thing - not those that utilize faux-gold, not-so-precious stones and batteries - Rolex's offerings are mechanical, functional, wearable art. This Lady Datejust, a Reference 79174, dates to circa 2001 and featuring a stainless steel construction with a fluted white gold bezel, a lovely white mother of pearl dial with applied 'Roman' indices and a matching handset, and a matching stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with signed blade clasp. Checking all of the boxes as its larger brothers, this lovely piece can easily be worn as a dress watch or a demure daily driver for the lady who knows what proper watches are all about.
