Types of Rolex Watches for Women


Rolex is one of the most valuable brand names on the global market, ranking in a top 100 compiled by Time magazine in 2007. Since the company started in 1915, it has been making innovative precision timepieces. Rolex is credited with creating the first waterproof watchcase, the first watch to automatically change date and time, and the first wristwatch to be awarded chronometer status. Although the company originally crafted timepieces for men, various Rolex wristwatches are made for women today.

Lady Datejust

  • The Lady Datejust bracelet and bevel are made of polished white gold and steel and set with brilliant diamonds. It is waterproof to 100 meters and is self-winding. The watch face displays time with Roman numerals, and the day of the month is displayed numerically. This watch comes in eight different designs, all with brilliantly set diamonds and designs.

Lady Oyster Perpetual

  • The Lady Oyster Perpetual has a brushed stainless-steel bracelet and a domed bevel. The watch face is accented with sapphire crystals and the traditional three-pronged Rolex emblem and name. It is waterproof to 100 meters and is self-winding.

Day-Date II

  • The Day-Date II is a more feminine version of the men's Day-Date watch. The bracelet is a combination of polished and brushed white gold. The watch face displays the time, day of the week and the date and is set with dazzling baguette diamonds. The watch is waterproof to 100 meters and is self-winding.

GMT Master II

  • The GMT Master II is the feminine answer to the men's Rolex GMT Master. The white gold bracelet is set with diamonds and sapphires, and the rotatable bevel is set with rubies, diamonds and sapphires. The watch face is black and displays the date and the time. Waterproof to 100 meters, the watch is self-winding and certified by Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (the official Swiss chronometer-testing institute).

Cosmograph Daytona

  • The Cosmograph Daytona has a leather strap with a gold clasp. The watch face is diamond-paved and set in white gold. The watch displays time in three different time zones, with either Roman numerals or traditional Arabic numerals. Waterproof up to 100 meters, the watch is self-winding and COSC-certified.
