Founder Hans Wilsdorf was determined to offer women, as much as men, finely crafted and dependable timepieces. As ladies' watches were often dainty and served as more fragile items of jewelry on the wrist, Rolex heeded the challenge of producing smaller but just as precise movements. Beginning with the Lady-Datejust, introduced in 1957, Rolex offered the best of both worlds for women: an accurate chronometer watch that wears like fine jewelry.
Today, Rolex offers a wide range of women's watches, from the classically elegant Oyster Perpetual and Datejust, to the sporty Yacht-Master, and opulent Pearlmaster, all of which offer refined glamor and technical performance. Recently, Rolex has increased the size of their women's watches to 28mm, maintaining their commitment to quality across both their robust tool watches and refined ladies' timepieces.
All of our pre-owned women's Rolex watches go through meticulous testing to ensure authenticity and performance. Find your perfect piece from our vast selection of pre-owned Rolex women's watches at SwissWatchExpo.com.

Prices for Rolex ladies watches on the secondary market vary widely, depending on the size of the case, the materials used, and the generation. Most of the time, buyers looking for a ladies Rolex for sale find prices between $2,500 and $5,000. This entry point consists mostly of older 26mm Lady-Datejust references in stainless steel. The $6,000 to $12,000 bracket introduces modern proportions, capturing the current 28mm Lady-Datejust in two-tone Oystersteel and yellow gold, alongside recent Oyster Perpetual models.
Prices jump sharply once solid gold and platinum enter the equation. An 18k gold Day-Date 36 or a Pearlmaster typically lands between $20,000 and $45,000. The top tier—ranging from $45,000 to $80,000—is reserved for rare, heavy-hitting configurations. Think full yellow gold or platinum Lady-Datejust 28 models with factory diamond dials and bezels. Across all brackets, market premiums are tied to exact reference numbers rather than general aesthetics.

The Rolex Datejust, first introduced in 1945, continues to remain in production and with good reason. Aside from its classically elegant design, the range offers a wide range of sizes, metals, dial colors, and bracelet options that one won’t be hard pressed to find a style that suits their taste. For this reason, it is Rolex’s best-selling range, even outselling many of the brand’s famous sports watches. With such demand, ladies Rolex Datejust watches are poised to keep their value, and are your best bet if you are looking to sell your timepiece down the line.
With the exception of Cellini watches, Rolex ladies watches come in Oyster cases. With Rolex’s patented hermetic case structure, where the bezel, case back, and crystal are screwed down against the middle case, these watches are guaranteed water resistant to 100 meters or 330 feet.
As an expression of both jewelry- and watchmaking, the Rolex Pearlmaster is exclusively crafted in solid gold or platinum and is often embellished with gems. For this reason, it is the most expensive line among Rolex ladies' watches. It was discontinued in 2022 but remains available in the secondary market.
The best size Rolex for women largely depends on personal preference and wrist size, but traditionally, Rolex has offered women's watches in sizes ranging from 24mm to 28mm. Recently, Rolex has updated their ladies' models, such as the Oyster Perpetual and Lady-Datejust, to 28mm, reflecting a trend towards slightly larger watches for women.
