Rolex Datejust 28 | Ref. 279173 | Two-Tone 18ct Yellow Gold & Steel | MOP Diamond Dial

Why we love this watch

Few watches command attention with such effortless grace as the Rolex Datejust 28. Reference 279173 is a study in considered elegance: a 28 mm round case crafted in two-tone Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold, its proportions perfectly suited to the wrist yet unmistakably present. The fixed 18ct yellow gold bezel frames the dial with a warm, continuous arc of colour that draws the eye inward. At the heart of this piece lies a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with diamond hour markers - a combination that catches light from every angle and transforms even the most familiar glance at the time into a quietly luxurious moment. The date window sits cleanly at three o'clock, a signature Datejust detail that has defined the reference since its inception. The two-tone Jubilee-style bracelet in Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold completes the picture with characteristic fluidity, sitting close to the wrist with that sense of considered weight that only genuine precious metal can deliver. Every element of ref. 279173 speaks to the same philosophy: precision and beauty, inseparable. With a power reserve of 55 hours, this is a watch built to keep pace with the life of its wearer - whether worn daily or reserved for the moments that matter most. Available now exclusively through SASO in Brisbane, ref. 279173 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most enduringly desirable references in its most captivating configuration.
