Rolex Datejust 179165

The Reference 179165 (c. 2005-2015) specifies the 26mm Lady-Datejust with a smooth, domed bezel (6) constructed from solid 18k Everose gold (5). The key technical feature of this reference is the material itself. Everose is a proprietary Rolex pink gold alloy containing a unique blend of gold, copper, and a small amount of platinum. The platinum acts as a stabilizing agent, locking in the copper’s color to prevent the fading common in traditional pink golds. The watch is powered by the Caliber 2235 chronometer movement and features the updated 179xxx series case with its heavier profile. Its significance is as the understated, smooth-bezel offering in Rolex’s patented, color-stable pink gold alloy.
