Rolex Datejust 26 ‘President’ – Yellow Gold – Reference 179178

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Datejust has long been the cornerstone of the brand’s elegant side, balancing technical reliability with unmistakable prestige. In its smaller 26 mm configuration, the Datejust becomes a refined ladies’ timepiece without sacrificing the substance that defines Rolex.

The reference 179178 represents the fully precious-metal execution of this classic design. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold and paired with the iconic President bracelet, it carries the visual language traditionally associated with Rolex’s most distinguished models. This example is further elevated by a custom diamond-set yellow gold bezel and a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with diamond hour markers, adding depth, warmth, and subtle brilliance.

Powered by Rolex’s automatic self-winding movement with quickset date, the 179178 delivers everyday practicality beneath its luxurious exterior. Preserved in mint condition and accompanied by its box, booklets, and service card, this piece stands as a timeless expression of Rolex elegance in its most recognizable form.
