Rolex Datejust White Gold — Diamond & Mother-of-Pearl | Ref. 80339

Reference 80339 occupies a rarefied position within the Datejust family as a 29mm white gold dress watch built explicitly around jewellery-grade materials. The 116-stone diamond-set bezel and fully paved mother-of-pearl dial place this piece at the intersection of haute horlogerie and fine jewellery, a configuration that Rolex reserves for its most formal, highest-specification references. Its 29mm case diameter is calibrated for the wrist it was designed for — elegant without excess.

Powering the watch is the Calibre 2236, Rolex's movement purpose-built for its smaller Datejust and Lady-Datejust references. It features a Syloxi silicon hairspring, a Supe rlumiNova-free construction suited to jewellery-dial models, and COSC-exceeding chronometric precision. The white gold case provides a cool, bright contrast that amplifies the iridescent qualities of the mother-of-pearl dial, while the factory-diamond bezel ensures no light source goes uncaptured.

Buyers drawn to Ref. 80339 are typically seeking the most complete, factory-configured diamond expression of the smaller Datejust — a watch that requires no aftermarket modification and carries full Rolex provenance. Because the white gold case and diamond-set bezel command a significant premium over steel equivalents, this reference holds its value well within pre-owned markets. It suits those for whom a watch must also function as jewellery in the strictest sense.
