A Rolex Datejust 79173 in stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, featuring the iconic fluted yellow gold bezel and a champagne dial set with original Rolex diamond hour markers. The 26mm case offers a classic, elegant profile, perfectly suited for those seeking a timeless and refined wrist presence. The combination of warm gold tones and diamond detailing gives this piece a distinctly luxurious aesthetic that has remained highly desirable within vintage Datejust models.
Powered by the Rolex Calibre 2235 automatic movement, this reference is known for its reliability, precision, and robust construction. The dial retains its original diamond-set configuration with a date aperture at 3 o’clock and Cyclops magnification. It is important to note that there is visible ageing to the dial, most notably a speckled, flaky appearance on the left side of the champagne surface, consistent with moisture ingress or past water exposure. This has created a textured patina effect across sections of the dial, which is clearly visible and should be considered when assessing condition.
Presented with original Rolex paperwork, this 2000 example is supplied boxed and certified, and includes a 12-month WLC warranty. While the case and bracelet are described overall as immaculate, the dial condition is a key point of transparency, offering an opportunity to acquire a diamond-set bi-metal Datejust at a more accessible level for collectors comfortable with honest vintage wear.
