The Heritage

The Lady-Datejust 26 Fluted Pink Mother-Of-Pearl Oyster (ref. 179174-0067) is a women's precision watch introduced by Rolex in 1957. It features a 26mm two-tone white gold and OYSTERSTEEL case with a mother-of-pearl dial that shifts with light, creating iridescent reflections. The watch is powered by the Rolex 2235 caliber, beating at 28,800 bph with COSC Chronometer certification and an automatic Perpetual rotor. Water-resistant to 100 metres, it includes a Cyclops lens magnifying the date window 2.5x. The lug width is 13mm, a non-standard size requiring specifically made straps with 1.5mm spring bar attachments.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174-0067?

The Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174-0067 has a lug width of 13mm. This is a non-standard size that requires straps specifically made for this dimension. To confirm the measurement, use a digital calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs at the point where they meet the case.

What is the best strap for the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174-0067?

For a mother-of-pearl dial on a two-tone white gold and stainless steel case, an alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather with a belly grain pattern is the most coherent choice given the formal register of the watch. Slate grey and midnight blue are the colourways that best complement the iridescent reflections of the dial. For more dynamic everyday wear, smooth black or burgundy box-calf is a technically sound alternative.

How do you change the strap on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174-0067?

The Lady-Datejust 179174-0067 uses standard 1.5mm spring bars, compatible with most 13mm aftermarket straps. Replacement requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool: insert the tool into the spring bar slot, compress and remove the original bracelet, then fit the new strap with pre-mounted spring bars. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the case and lugs from scratching.

Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179174-0067?

Yes. Aftermarket straps compatible with the Lady-Datejust 179174-0067 must have a 13mm attachment width and 1.5mm spring bars. milanostraps.it offers a curated selection of handcrafted straps in this size, available in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and rubber, with bespoke customisation options through the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on a Rolex Lady-Datejust?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care routine and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, rotated with other straps and occasionally conditioned with appropriate products, can last between three and five years whilst retaining its structural integrity. Shell cordovan, owing to the density of its fibre, tends to last longer and develops a distinctive patina over time. Milano Straps offers an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
