Rolex Datejust 26
Rolex Datejust 26 Ref.79174
The Rolex Datejust 26 with a black Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial and 10 diamond hour markers is a strikingly elegant interpretation of one of Rolex’s most iconic timepieces. Its 26mm Oyster case, crafted in stainless steel or Rolesor (steel and gold), showcases the iridescent beauty of natural black Tahitian mother-of-pearl, each dial shimmering uniquely with shades of green, purple, and blue. Ten brilliant-cut diamonds serve as hour markers, adding refined brilliance to the dial. Powered by Rolex’s self-winding mechanical movement and fitted with the signature Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, this Datejust blends precision, durability, and jewelry-like sophistication.

At Duchess, we believe every vintage timepiece deserves thoughtful care to preserve its beauty and performance. Here's how you can keep your watch in excellent condition for years to come:
1. Avoid Water Exposure
Avoid wearing your watch while showering, swimming, or washing hands to prevent moisture damage.
2. Handle With Clean, Dry Hands
When adjusting the time or winding a mechanical piece, always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the crown and case.
3. Wind Gently
For manual watches, wind the crown slowly and stop as soon as you feel resistance. Over-winding can damage the movement.
4. Store Properly
When not in use, keep your watch in a dry, cool place — ideally in a watch box or pouch. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading or corrosion.
5. Keep Away from Magnets
Magnetic fields (from electronics or bags with magnetic clasps) can affect timekeeping accuracy. Keep your watch away from strong magnets whenever possible.
6. Service Every 3–5 Years
Even vintage watches need regular maintenance. We recommend servicing mechanical watches every 3–5 years to keep the movement running smoothly.
7. Use a Soft Cloth
Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove sweat and dust, especially if it's been worn on a hot or humid day.
