This replica diamond 179174 white features a mother of pearl dial that no two examples display in exactly the same way. The Lady-Datejust 179174 in this configuration uses a 26mm stainless steel case with a white gold fluted bezel and white mother of pearl surface beneath diamond hour markers. Mother of pearl is an organic material, and its iridescent character shifts between pink, green, blue, and white depending on viewing angle and light source. The 26mm case keeps proportions compact while the dial material adds visual complexity far beyond what a standard lacquered surface can achieve.

Caliber Breakdown

Rolex equipped the 179174 with an automatic movement featuring a Parachrom hairspring for improved shock resistance and magnetic field tolerance. The movement winds in both directions and stores approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Date changes at midnight with a quickset function accessible through the crown at its first pulled position. The datejust mother of pearl configuration makes this reference popular among collectors seeking organic dial materials. For a different take on the Lady-Datejust platform, the Pearlmaster 31mm silver dial steps up the case size and bracelet finishing.

How It Compares

Mother of pearl dials occupy a specific segment of the Datejust catalog. They cost more than standard lacquered dials in the genuine range because of the material sourcing and the additional steps needed to cut and set the shell. The white variant reads lighter and more neutral than the black MOP option, making it versatile across wardrobe choices. At 26mm on a steel Oyster bracelet, this configuration balances the exotic dial against a practical, everyday case and bracelet combination. This replica diamond 179174 white makes that organic dial accessible in a compact, proven format.
