The White-Gold Datejust That Reads Like Steel

A 26mm Datejust in solid white gold is a quieter thing than most people expect. From across a room it reads as steel. Up close, the weight tells you otherwise, and so does the fluted white-gold bezel catching light the way steel never quite does. This one is a 2001 reference 179179 on a President bracelet, silver stick dial, authenticated and serviced in-house.

Here is the value read. The small Datejusts in precious metal don't trade on hype, so they don't swing much either. Condition carries the price: crisp fluting, a clean silver dial, and a President that hasn't gone loose. Ours checks those boxes. What buyers pay up for on the white-gold version is exactly what makes it hard to spot — the metal is discreet, and discretion in solid gold has a small, steady audience.

Who it suits: someone who wants the President bracelet and gold weight without the yellow-gold announcement. Backed by our store warranty.
