Rolex Datejust 179298

The Reference 179298 is a factory gem-set model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 179xxx series (c. 2005-2015), specified in 18k yellow gold (8). The 29 configuration code denotes a dual-location diamond setting: the bezel is factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds (typically 48 stones), and the case lugs are also factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds (typically 24 stones). This technical layout positions the watch as a high-jewelry piece, distinct from models with only a diamond bezel. It is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2235 automatic movement and features the updated, heavier case profile of its generation. Its significance lies in this specific, opulent combination of factory-set gems on both the case and bezel.
