79173 Vignette Diamond Dial

A two-tone Lady Datejust is already a gorgeous timepiece for her, but add a vignette blue dial and some diamonds to the mix, and you can get the party started! Ladies, once you wrap this charmer around your wrist the magic immediately begins. Indoors the dial shows a navy blue tone, but once outside and especially in the sunlight, the blue completely lightens up and continues to surprise you with its beautiful finish. This stunning dial, for which the method of production requires the near same technique as the famed Stella dials, is further adorned by the shimmering and sparkles from those ten, white colored diamond hour-markers, which of course are factory-set, and all original from Rolex.

This stunning Lady Datejust was manufactured and bought in 1999 and comes to us (once again) straight from the original owner. The rare and desirable, blue vignette dial, shows a very attractive colour gradient which smoothly transitions from a dark navy blue on the outside of the dial, to a vibrant laser blue in the center. This effect is striking to say the least, and the overall magnificent appearance of this dial is enhanced even more by the 10 vibrant, brilliant-cut Rolex factory diamonds, set in 18k yellow golden chatons. Each diamond is paired with perfectly aged, eggshell coloured Tritium plots, which together with the blue colors and the golden details provide a warm and fresh looking, yet distinctive ladies Rolex Datejust. The stainless steel case on this 79173 remains in extremely good condition with thick, sharp and evenly shaped lugs. The 18k yellow gold fluted bezel remains unpolished and the stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Jubilee with steel Oysterclasp shows little stretch, and still wears extremely well and super comfortable. Also good to know is that these Vignette dials were partially handmade, especially when it came to applying the gradient color, so not one of these dials has the exact same gradient, which means you’re actually wearing a unique timepiece.

As you’re used to by know, this Lady Datejust, with reference 79173 and Vignette Diamond Dial, was fully serviced according the Rolex factory specs and will be delivered with our extensive two year warranty.
