Mother of pearl dials are among the most visually dynamic surfaces in all of watchmaking, and the Lady-Datejust 79174 showcases this material in its dark, dramatic form. Black mother of pearl shifts between deep charcoal, midnight blue, and subtle green depending on the angle and light source — no two glances at the dial ever look exactly the same. Paired with diamond hour markers and a white gold fluted bezel, this 26mm Lady-Datejust transforms a classic reference into something uniquely expressive.

The 79174 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
The black mother of pearl dial is a natural material, meaning each piece carries a unique pattern of iridescent swirls and colour shifts. Diamond hour markers sit atop this dark, lustrous surface, creating points of bright fire that contrast dramatically with the deep background. The Cyclops lens magnifies the date aperture at three o’clock against the shimmering dial.
The fluted white gold bezel adds a cool metallic frame that complements the dark tones of the mother of pearl without competing for attention. The Jubilee bracelet with its five-piece links drapes softly at 26mm, making this a lightweight, comfortable daily wearer despite its dressy character.
