Datejust 26 - Oystersteel & Everose Gold,Meteorite Dial

Description:

Reference 179171 pairs Oystersteel with 18k Everose gold across a 26mm case, the fluted Everose bezel catching light in tight, even flashes as the wrist turns. Ten diamond hour markers sit proud against a genuine meteorite dial—no two slices of this Gibeon meteorite are ever identical, so the Widmanstätten crystalline pattern here is unrepeatable, shifting from pewter to graphite depending on the angle of the light hitting it. A sapphire crystal sits low and clear over the dial, adding depth without distorting the metallic grain beneath it. The date window at three o'clock is framed by the Cyclops lens, keeping the layout legible despite the dial's busy natural texture.

Inside is Rolex's automatic Caliber 2235, running on 31 jewels with roughly 48 hours of power reserve—enough to sit overnight and still be ticking the next morning. The two-tone Oyster bracelet integrates directly into the case at the lugs, no visible gap or transition, and closes on a concealed fold-over clasp that tucks flush against the wrist for a clean finish. Screw-down crown and case-back keep water resistance at 100 meters, so it handles rain, hand-washing, and swimming without a second thought—not a dive watch, but not fragile either. The Oyster bracelet's flat, three-link construction wears noticeably lighter than a Jubilee of the same era, reading closer to jewelry than tool watch.

This piece presents in like-new condition and comes complete with box.
