Description
The beginning of the Rolex journey starts in 1905, when Hans Wilsdorf, at the age of 24, creates his own company in London specialized in the distribution of timepieces. At the time, the precision of wristwatches was quite low, but Hans Wilsdorf foresaw a future that the wristwatches could also become reliable and not only elegant. To convince the public, the creator decided to equip his timepieces with small and very precise movements manufactured by a Swiss watchmaking company in Bienne. In 1919, Rolex moves from London to Geneva in Switzerland.
Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust was the first self‑winding wristwatch to feature a date window that automatically changed at midnight — a hallmark innovation that became iconic. Over the decades, the Datejust evolved into countless variations, including the Lady‑Datejust line launched in 1957 to offer the same prestige in a refined, smaller case. The reference 179174 continues this legacy, combining the timeless fluted bezel in white gold with Rolex’s renowned Oyster case and Jubilee bracelet, embodying both tradition and modern elegance.
