Rolex Datejust 28 - 2-Tone - Rose Gold - 279161 - Pink Diamond Dial with Star-Shaped Settings
Watch Info
Manufacturer: Rolex
Model: Datejust 28
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 279161
Year: 2023
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Rolex inner and outer boxes, 2023 Warranty Card, manuals, green chronometer hangtag, and white serial hangtag.
Notes: The 279161 is the Datejust 28 in Oystersteel and 18k Everose gold — the Rolesor configuration that pairs the durability and cool tone of steel with the warmth of Everose gold across the bezel, crown, and Oyster bracelet center links. This example features the star-set diamond dial in pink — one of the most refined and sought-after dial configurations in the Datejust 28 lineup, in which each diamond is individually set into a star-shaped recess cut directly into the dial surface, allowing the stones to sit flush and secure while maximizing their visual impact. The result is a dial of exceptional natural brilliance that shifts and catches light with every movement of the wrist. Powered by the in-house Calibre 2236 with Syloxi silicon hairspring, the 279161 is a watch of genuine manufacture substance in a format that represents Rolex's most refined expression of feminine horology.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2023 example presents in essentially unworn condition, consistent with minimal careful handling. Every surface retains the character of a virtually new example with no meaningful signs of wear throughout.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The pink star-set diamond dial is pristine and flawless. All diamonds are present, secure, and brilliant. The applied Everose gold hands are in perfect condition. The sapphire crystal with Cyclops date magnification lens is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 28mm Oystersteel and Everose gold case retains its full factory finishing throughout. The smooth Everose gold bezel is in perfect condition. The case flanks and lugs are sharp and essentially unmarked.
Bracelet & Clasp: The two-tone Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel and Everose gold is in essentially unworn condition — tight, with no stretch and minimal surface marks. The Crownclasp functions perfectly.

Why the 279161 Diamond Dial is the Datejust 28 at Its Most Refined
The Datejust 28 occupies the most intimate scale in the Rolex sport-dress catalog — a 28mm case that wears with exceptional elegance and that has been in continuous production, in various configurations, since the reference's introduction. The star-set diamond dial is the most technically demanding dial configuration in the Datejust 28 lineup, requiring individual stone setting into recesses machined directly into the dial surface — a process that demands precision at a scale that very few workshops can execute to the standard Rolex demands.
The pink diamond dial on the Rolesor 279161 is the most complete expression of this reference — warm, luminous, and immediately distinctive on the wrist in a way that no lacquered or printed dial can replicate. This 2023 essentially unworn example, retaining its white serial tag and complete documentation, represents a genuinely rare find at this condition level. For the collector seeking the most refined expression of the Datejust 28 in a two-tone precious metal and stone-set configuration, this is a compelling and well-documented example.
