Catalogue Essay
In 1957, Rolex introduced an automatic chronometer movement specifically for women. Featuring a date complication and with a diminutive size, this movement would power the Lady-Datejust, a reliable, durable, and elegant wristwatch engineered for women. The first Lady-Datejust was housed in a 24mm case, fitted with the screwdown crown and Oyster case Rolex is known for.
Later marketing efforts would showcase cultural phenomenons as the ideal wearers of the Lady-Datejust: opera singer Kiri Te Kanawa, oceanographer Sylvia Earle, and ballerina Sylvie Guillem to name a few. Since 1957, the Lady-Datejust has taken on myriad forms, from ultra-utilitarian stainless steel, to luxurious pavé platinum.
The present Lady-Datejust from the contemporary catalogue dates to 2022 and features a stunning and feminine pink opal dial set with diamonds, a round brilliant diamond bezel, and a beautiful white gold President bracelet. Accurate, sumptuous, and refined, the present Lady-Datejust reference 279139RBR is a fitting heir to an impressive horological lineage.

Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
