The appeal of a watch needs to transcend a generation with qualities that satisfy different age groups and style preferences. To be an icon, a watch must be timeless and be “a good watch” that lasts a lifetime, from day to night – the Lady-Datejust is an icon.
Pioneering women have been a cornerstone in the history of Rolex. Since the very beginning of the brand, they have inspired Rolex to create and develop exceptional timepieces to support their quest for power. The Lady-Datejust is a tribute to those who have dared to be the first. It embodies precision while combining classic elegance with technical performance.
Launched in 1957, the Lady-Datejust concentrates all the characteristics of the Datejust, the Rolex symbol synonymous with style and technical performance since its introduction in 1945. the Lady-Datejust is the feminine version of this calendar chronometer, which carries the Datejust in a smaller size elegance, perfectly suited to slender wrists.
The Lady-Datejust’s 28 mm Oyster case combines proportion, robustness and elegance perfectly. The uniquely shaped middle case is crafted from a solid block of highly corrosion-resistant Oyster steel or 18-carat gold. It is guaranteed water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet).
Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a three-piece link Oyster bracelet and folding Oyster clasp; or a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet (designed exclusively for the Datejust in 1945) and crown clasp, or with a three-piece link President bracelet and crown clasp. A concealed connection system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and the case.
The Lady-Datejust is equipped with the caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Its construction makes it exceptionally precise and reliable. 2236 is equipped with a silicon Syloxi hairspring produced under Rolex’s patent. Resistant to magnetic fields, the Syloxi hairspring offers excellent stability in the face of temperature variations and remains 10 times more accurate than a conventional hairspring in the face of shocks. Its patented geometry ensures its regularity in any position.
