The Lady-Datejust watch from the Oyster Pepetual collection by Rolex is a feminine classic par excellence.
Its mini case, measuring 28 millimeters, is completely in line with the current trend.
Thanks to the materials offered - steel or three variations of gold (yellow, gray or 18 ct everose), the work of the bezel and the dial, multiple combinations are possible.
You can also choose from three typically Rolex bracelets: the Jubilee, the Oyster and the President.
As a bonus?
This watchmaking icon has its own Rolex caliber, the 2236, which was complex to create due to its small size.
At the beginning
It was in 1945 that the Oyster collection was born, equipped with an automatic winding chronometer.
A first in the field of watchmaking.
In 1957, women also wanted to wear a wristwatch that was robust and as reliable as a man's.
Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, imagined the Lady-Datejust in this way.
“Women want the best of both worlds: a tiny watch and a precise movement.
However, the smaller the watch, the more difficult it is to guarantee its precision,” he explains on the genesis of the piece.

Inspiring women
Since then, women have continued to wear it regardless of their professions.
Like Wimbledon champion Chris Evert, or even Grace Kelly, in their time.
Today, other sportswomen or artists have taken over, such as the equestrian Jessica Springsteen or the sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar.
Just like stars Kim Kardashian or Hailey Bieber.
