The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279135rbr-0001 embodies the brand's commitment to excellence with its 18 ct Everose gold Oyster case, part of Rolex's groundbreaking 1926 design, the first waterproof wristwatch case. The case protects the intricate inner mechanisms by featuring a bezel, case back, and crown. At the same time, the lugs seamlessly connect the bracelet and watch, adding elegance with polished or satin finishes. The Cyclops lens, introduced in 1953, magnifies the date at 3 o'clock on scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for easy readability. Everose gold, Rolex's exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy, introduced in 2005, boasts a unique hue with exceptional radiance and resistance. This alloy, composed of at least 75% gold and 20% copper, along with palladium and indium, is carefully crafted in Rolex's Geneva foundry to ensure quality control. By leveraging specific physical and chemical properties, Rolex shapes this alloy to create a deep, aurora-like golden shade that shimmers timelessly on the wrist.

In 2015, Rolex added ceramic inserts to improve its durability and comfort, solidifying it as a testament to Rolex's expertise.

It delivers a unique, reassuring feel with a slight resistance followed by a sharp, confident click, symbolising its reliability. The subtle extension provided by Easylink transforms a well-fitted bracelet into a perfectly fitted one, showcasing Rolex's relentless pursuit of wearable perfection through even the most minor adjustments, ensuring continued comfort in everyday life.

Skilled artisans use precise brushing techniques to create grooves radiating from the dial's centre. Rolex ensures light diffuses evenly across each engraving, producing a dynamic, subtle glow that shifts with wrist movement. Once the sunray finish is complete, Rolex applies the chocolate colour using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. The dial seals with a light coat of varnish to enhance its refined, sophisticated appeal.
