The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279160-0001 showcases the brand's commitment to excellence through its Oystersteel case, a proprietary 904L steel known for exceptional corrosion resistance and durability, often used in high-tech and aerospace industries. This case, part of Rolex's groundbreaking 1926 Oyster design - the first waterproof wristwatch case - set new durability standards with a bezel, case back, and crown protecting intricate inner mechanisms. The lugs crafted from refined alloys connect the bracelet and watch, adding elegance through polished or satin finishes. Enhancing functionality, the Cyclops lens introduced in 1953 magnifies the date at 3 o'clock on scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring easy readability at a glance.

The Rolex Jubilee bracelet, a supple and comfortable five-piece link metal design, was introduced in 1945 to launch the Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Complementing this design, Rolex incorporates the concealed folding Crownclasp, enhancing the bracelet's seamless elegance and ensuring both style and functionality.

The Oysterclasp, protected by a folding cover, opens effortlessly with a single motion, combining secure closure with easy opening for daily use. 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.

Rolex's Pink Dial showcases a sunray finish that adds depth and elegance, a hallmark of many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. Skilled artisans use precise brushing techniques to create grooves radiating outward from the dial's centre, allowing light to diffuse evenly across each engraving and producing a dynamic, subtle glow that shifts with wrist movement. After completing the sunray finish, Rolex applies the pink colour using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating and seals it with a light coat of varnish to enhance its refined, sophisticated appeal.

Rolex's stick hour markers offer a highly legible Chromalight display, known for its long-lasting blue luminescence, enhancing readability and style.

Rolex equips the Lady-Datejust 279160-0001 with the Calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement known for its precision and durability. It has a 55-hour power reserve and uses the Chronergy escapement, which improves efficiency and resists magnetic interference. It includes a blue Parachrom hairspring for stability against shocks and temperature changes and Paraflex shock absorbers for extra durability. The Calibre 2236 highlights Rolex's dedication to high performance and reliability.

Additionally, the calibre 2236 is fitted with Rolex's blue Parachrom hairspring, which is highly shock-resistant and unaffected by temperature variations, ensuring stable performance in all conditions.
