This replica diamond 179173 silver pairs a 26mm two-tone case with a sunburst silver dial set with diamond hour markers. The Lady-Datejust 179173 combines Oystersteel and yellow gold in a configuration that has defined the brand’s approach to women’s dress watches for decades. At 26mm the case sits compact on the wrist, and the fluted yellow gold bezel catches light at every angle. The Jubilee bracelet continues the two-tone pattern with alternating polished gold center links and brushed steel outer links, giving the overall design a balanced formality.

The fluted bezel on this reference is not merely decorative. Its angular facets create a ring of light around the dial that shifts with wrist movement, drawing attention to the diamond indices below.

What Collectors Notice

Diamond-set dials on Lady-Datejust references follow a specific placement pattern. Each index is set in a gold surround that matches the bezel metal, maintaining visual consistency across the face. The silver sunburst finish underneath adds depth rather than competing with the stones. This interplay between metallic tones and stone settings is what separates the 179173 from simpler diamond configurations. For another approach to diamond finishing on a slightly larger canvas, see the Pearlmaster 31mm silver dial version. Both sit within the diamond watches collection, but the Pearlmaster trades the Jubilee bracelet for a Pearlmaster link design with rounded five-piece construction.

This vs Other Versions

The 179173 occupies a particular spot in the Lady-Datejust range. It is smaller than the 31mm references that have grown popular in recent years, and the two-tone treatment gives it more visual presence than the full-steel alternatives. The silver dial reads neutral enough for daily wear while the diamond indices add formal weight when needed. If you want a versatile two-tone piece at the classic 26mm size, this replica diamond 179173 silver remains one of the most refined options in the lineup.
