Rolex Lady-Datejust

26 mm or 28 mm

Older 26 mm Lady-Datejust references feel traditionally compact. Modern 28 mm pieces give the dial a little more room while retaining a jewellery-like scale.

Rolesor, steel and diamonds

Steel Lady-Datejust models are usually the cleanest daily choice. Yellow or Everose Rolesor adds warmth, while diamond dials, diamond bezels and pearl dials move the watch into a more formal lane.

Check bracelet sizing and clasp security. On a pre-owned watch, inspect bracelet looseness and ask about service history; establish whether a diamond dial or bezel is original to the reference.
