PRE-OWNED ROLEX 179174 LADY DATEJUST WATCHES
Production Years:
Rolex Lady Datejust 179174 is an early model within the line of Rolex Lady Datejust models. It was launched in 1957 by Rolex as a smaller women’s version of the Datejust watch, adding the date display capability of the Datejust watch to a much smaller watch. The early Lady Datejust had a case size of 25mm, while Rolex enlarged the size of the line to 28mm in 2015.
Reference number 179174 falls into the time when the watches had not yet been enlarged to the new 28mm case size. Thus, the compact size is one of the essential features that add value to this pre owned watch.
Defining Features
The Rolex Datejust 179174 adheres to the characteristics that have long distinguished its smaller counterparts in the Rolex Datejust series. In terms of its size, the timepiece comes with a date display that provides the watch with its name.
The date is located at 3 o'clock and is magnified by a Cyclops window. This feature, which has become very distinctive to all date displaying Rolex watches, helps read the date without increasing the size of the date aperture.
It is also noteworthy how wide an assortment of variations Rolex makes for the model. Many materials combinations, dial, bezel and bracelet choices have been used in the Lady Datejust production, making each pre owned watch a unique piece in its own right and not just another one in a lineup of identical watches.
The Jubilee bracelet has become especially popular with the Datejust collection. Rolex developed the five piece link bracelet specifically for the first release of the Datejust in 1945, and its flexibility is an important characteristic of the watch family.
About Rolex Lady Datejust Model Number 179174
What sets apart the 179174 from other models is the association with the short lived era of the production of Lady Datejusts. Contemporary Lady Datejusts are equipped with a 28mm case, whereas the 179174 hails from the previous generation of this model, where small size was the defining feature of the series.
This peculiarity becomes particularly important in relation to secondhand classics, since a smaller Lady Datejust provides a completely different feel to the wrist compared to the contemporary model while still keeping its date function and classic look, typical for Datejusts.
One more advantage of the 179174 model is the great variety of options that used to be provided by the Lady Datejust line of watches. Various designs of dials, hour markers and other features make each watch distinct in its appearance. This means that condition and originality become the factors of importance, in addition to the reference number.
Thus, for those who want to have a ladies' Rolex with traditional proportions rather than the dimensions of the contemporary Lady Datejust, 179174 becomes a really remarkable reference in the line of development of this model.
