Rolex Datejust 79078

Reference 79078 is a rare and decorative factory-configured model from the 26mm Lady-Datejust 79xxx series, produced from approximately 1999 to 2005. Its technical specification denotes a case constructed from 18k yellow gold (8) with the unique 07 configuration. This code specifies a bezel with a hand-applied ‘bark’ finish. This reference is distinguished by often being paired with a full factory-set pavé diamond dial, which elevates it from a simple textured watch to a high-jewelry piece. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2235. The significance of the Ref. 79078 lies in its role as a bridge, carrying the traditional artisanal ‘bark’ finish into the modern five-digit reference series.
