Rolex Pearlmaster 29 ‘Factory Diamond MOP Dial’ - Reference 80298 (2006)

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Pearlmaster represents the pinnacle of elegance within the Datejust collection — a masterwork of jewelry craftsmanship and horological precision. Introduced in 1992, it quickly became Rolex’s most luxurious interpretation of the Datejust, distinguished by its sculpted precious-metal case, rounded link bracelet, and exclusive use of diamonds and gemstones set in-house by Rolex’s master gemologists.

This 2006 reference 80298 is a stunning example of the Pearlmaster’s artistry, crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold and preserved in unworn condition, still retaining its original protective stickers. The white mother-of-pearl dial with factory-set diamond hour markers radiates timeless femininity, while the diamond-set bezel and factory diamond Pearlmaster bracelet elevate it to the level of wearable haute joaillerie. Inside beats the Calibre 2235, Rolex’s chronometer-certified self-winding movement known for reliability and precision. Offered as a full set — including box, certificate, booklets, and tag — this piece stands as both a jewelry masterpiece and a rare collector’s Rolex in truly pristine form.
