Although the Datejust 31 was originally marketed to both men and women, it eventually evolved into a ladies' Datejust watch, sharing several design codes with its smaller sibling, the Lady-Datejust. In the 1960s, the midsize version with a 31mm case joined the catalog. The model featured a 26mm case, which was 10mm smaller than the men's Datejust watch. From the fluted bezel and waterproof case to the date window and Cyclops magnification lens to the self-winding Perpetual movement, the Lady-Datejust retained all the signature design traits of the men's version but housed in a smaller watch. Historyįollowing the debut of the 36mm Datejust in 1945, Rolex introduced a women's version of the watch called the Lady-Datejust in 1957. What's more, the precious metal versions are also available with President bracelets-the only other Rolex collection aside from the Day-Date to offer that.
Whether a Lady-Datejust or a Datejust 31, women's timepieces within this collection run exclusively on automatic movements. The midsize watches have always had 31mm cases. However, in 2015, the brand redesigned the collection whereby Lady-Datejust watches now feature 28mm cases. Historically, these pieces sported 26mm cases. Two models are classified as women's watches: the Lady-Datejust and the midsize Datejust 31. The Ladies' collection are characterized by their smaller case sizes. Similar to the men's model, these timepieces have a date window on the dial at 3 o'clock that is magnified by a Cyclops lens protruding from the crystal. Since its introduction in the 1950s, the collection has grown to become Rolex's best selling model. Please visit our Sell Rolex page to get a fast estimate.
