Ladies Rolex Watch Collections
Rolex has several collections of ladies’ watches, each with a unique style and design. The Lady-Datejust collection features elegant and timeless watches that can go from office to cocktails. The Pearlmaster collection features watches with exquisite gem-set bezels and dials, making them the ultimate statement piece for formal occasions.
The Yacht-Master collection meanwhile, features sporty and chic watches with a nautical theme, perfect for women who enjoy an active lifestyle. The Cellini collection features classic and refined watches with a touch of vintage flair, making them the perfect choice for women who appreciate understated luxury.
Regardless of which collection one chooses, each ladies’ Rolex watch is crafted with the same level of precision, reliability, and sophistication that has made Rolex a household name and a leader in the world of luxury watches.
Ladies Rolex Datejust
The Ladies Rolex Datejust collection is one of the most iconic and timeless lines of watches in the Rolex catalog. Rolex began producing Datejust watches in 1945, and they quickly became one of the brand’s most popular models, leading to the Lady-Datejust line in 1957. The Ladies Datejust collection features watches with a smaller case size than the men’s version, while still possessing the hallmarks of the Datejust: the water resistant Oyster case, perpetual movement, and automatically changing date with Cyclops lens.
Case sizes available for the Ladies Datejust collection are 26mm, 28mm, and 31mm. Somewhat confusingly, Rolex doesn’t label all of these watches as Lady-Datejust (only the 28mm), they are simply labeled as smaller case sizes within the Datejust line.
The first men’s Datejust measured 36mm and is categorized by Rolex as a men’s watch, but many women now prefer this 36mm size. As such, Rolex has expanded the more feminine dial styles available in the 36mm size to cater to this preference. In 2015, Rolex discontinued the 26mm case size in favor of the 28mm size, suggesting the preference of today’s collectors for larger watches.
The Datejust collection features the widest range of variety within the Rolex catalog. They come in a range of metals, including stainless steel, Everose gold, yellow gold, white gold, platinum, and Rolesor options – the mix of steel with yellow, white, or Everose gold. Many of the watches in the Ladies Datejust collection also feature diamond-set bezels or dials, adding a touch of luxury and glamour to the already elegant design.
Gold or platinum Lady-Datejust watches can come with the ‘Presidential’ three-link bracelets, in which case the watch is called a Datejust President. These are the only watches outside of the Day-Date line that can come with the famous President bracelet.
The Ladies Datejust collection is perfect for women who appreciate classic and timeless style. The watches in this collection are versatile and can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for any occasion. Whether worn with a casual outfit or a formal gown, a Ladies Datejust watch is sure to make an elegant statement. Additionally, the smaller case size makes them ideal for women who prefer a more understated and refined look.
Within this collection:
Lady-Datejust 26 (discontinued)
Lady-Datejust 28
Datejust 31
Datejust 36
Ladies’ Datejust President
Ladies Rolex Oyster Perpetual
The Ladies Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection is another iconic line of watches from the brand that exudes elegance and sophistication. Rolex introduced the Oyster Perpetual series in 1950, but its origins can be traced back to 1926, when Rolex made the “Oyster” watch — the world’s first waterproof wristwatch with a self-winding movement.
It was in 1964 that Rolex introduced the Ladies Oyster Perpetual in a smaller 24.6mm case, while still possessing the waterproof Oyster case and Perpetual winding automatic movement. The collection is a testament to Rolex’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
The sizes available for the Ladies Oyster Perpetual collection are 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, and 31mm, with a variety of dial and bracelet options. Rolex has discontinued the 24 and 26mm size, but the 28mm and 31mm sizes are still available today.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches also come in larger sizes that give a stylish oversized look on a woman’s wrist. Their sizes can go as big as 39mm (discontinued) and 41mm, but most ladies prefer the 34mm and 36mm sizes.
Rolex’s line of Oyster Perpetual watches is known for the time-only and simplistic dials that exude understated luxury. They once made Oyster Perpetuals in a variety of metals, but now you’ll find that they’re all made from steel with simple, smooth bezels and accompanied by Oyster bracelets. Where you find the difference and uniqueness is in the dials. In 2020, Rolex introduced a number of new dial color options with the traditional options of blue, black and silver alongside pinks, reds, turquoise, yellows, and greens.
The Ladies Oyster Perpetual collection is perfect for women who appreciate classic and timeless design. The watches in this collection are versatile and can be worn for most occasions, from a day at the office to an evening out on the town. The collection’s 100m water resistance also makes it ideal for women who enjoy water sports or simply want a watch that can be worn everyday and can also withstand the elements. The Oyster Perpetual’s self-winding movement ensures accurate timekeeping without the need for batteries, making it a low-maintenance and reliable timepiece.

The collection features a range of metals, including the original yellow gold, and two-tone options in stainless steel and yellow gold (Rolesor) or stainless steel and platinum (Rolesium).
The newer 37mm supplanted the older yellow gold two-tone designs with Everose gold and platinum bezels, paired with stainless steel.
Additionally, there is a 37mm model in Everose gold combined Oysterflex, Rolex’s patented rubber bracelet, adding to the watch’s sporty and functional design.

The Rolex Pearlmaster collection for ladies is one of the most exquisite and luxurious collections from the brand. Always crafted in precious metals, and often adorned with diamonds, the Pearlmaster collection is Rolex’s crowning jewelry watch.
