圖錄文章
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. Since 1957, the Lady-Datejust has taken on myriad forms, from ultra-utilitarian stainless steel, to luxurious pavé.

Arguably the most lavish and decadent iteration of the Lady-Datejust, the present reference 69159 features a pavé diamond dial, a round brilliant diamond-set bezel, diamond-set lugs, and a diamond-set bracelet referred to by collectors as the "Octopussy" because of its design, mimicking the tentacles and suction cups of an octopus. Each and every link is factory set with round-cut diamonds placed on either side of the centrally-set baguette-cut diamonds.

Recently serviced by Rolex, the watch is not only accompanied by a service card, but a beautiful Rolex scarf and a period-correct Rolex oversized motif presentation box and accessories.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded 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.
