The audacity of excellence. The Lady-Datejust

“A classic woman’s watch”

This is how some describe our Oyster perpetual Lady-Datejust and they might just be right. Since the early 20th century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for the wrists of every woman, with the same standard of excellence as all the models that have forged its legend. If “classic” means always pursuing a higher standard, if it means perpetuating tradition while combining elegance with precision, grace with resistance, beauty with performance… Then the Lady-Datejust is a classic woman’s watch.

A keystone in Rolex History

Pioneering women have always been a keystone in the history of Rolex.
From the brand’s earliest days, they have inspired the creation and development of special watches that would support their quest for empowerment. The Lady-Datejust is a celebration of those women who dare to lead the way. It embodies precision while combining classic elegance with technical performance.

Heir to the Datejust

Introduced in 1957, the Lady-Datejust concentrates all the attributes of the Datejust, Rolex’s emblematic watch that has been a byword for style and technical performance since its launch in 1945. The women’s version of this date chronometer, the Lady-Datejust carries the elegance of the Datejust in a smaller size that fits slender wrists to perfection.

A wide variety of versions

From dials with a sunray finish to dials set with diamonds or mother-of-pearl, the Lady-Datejust offers a wide variety of models so its wearer will always find one that reflects her personality.  The Lady-Datejust is offered with a fluted, domed or diamond-set bezel, depending on the model.

Exclusive materials

The Lady-Datejust is available in Oystersteel, yellow, white or Everose 18 karat gold or in the Rolesor version, which blends Oystersteel with one of the three varieties of gold (white, yellow and Everose.) 

28 mm Oyster case

The Lady-Datejust’s 28 mm Oyster case is a perfect blend of proportion, robustness and elegance. Its distinctive middle case is crafted from a solid block of highly corrosion-resistant Oystersteel or 18 karat gold. Guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 100 meters.

Iconic bracelets

The Lady-Datejust comes with a three-piece link Oyster bracelet equipped with an Oysterclasp, a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet created in 1945 especially for the Datejust, or a three-piece link President bracelet, depending on the model. The Jubilee and President bracelets are equipped with a Crownclasp.  In addition, an invisible setting system provides perfect visual continuity between the bracelet and the case.

Calibre perpetual 2236

The Lady-Datejust is equipped with caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Its architecture makes it exceptionally precise and reliable.  Calibre 2236 has a Syloxi hairspring in silicon, patented and manufactured by Rolex. Resistant to magnetic fields, the Syloxi hairspring provides great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains up to ten times more precise than a conventional hairspring in case of shocks.  Its patented geometry ensures its regularity in any position.

Superlative chronometer

Like all Rolex watches, the Lady-Datejust is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification.  This designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshop has successfully passed a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its in-house laboratories and according to its own criteria.  The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal included with all Rolex watches and is accompanied by an international five-year guarantee.
