A Modern Take On The Rolex Lady-Datejust
The Datejust was a staple of the Rolex brand and was first introduced to the market in 1945. While the model was originally designed for men, the brand soon introduced the Rolex Lady in 1957, which had all the same core features but in a more compact size. To this day, the Datejust continues to be produced and holds the title of Rolex’s best-selling watch of all time.
The Rolex Datejust collection is available in countless design combinations, including multiple metal finishes, case sizes, dial colors, and bracelet options. Today, the women’s Datejust is a success in its own right, surpassing (by volume) many of the brand’s most popular sports watches. Below we take a closer look at the modern Rolex Lady-Datejust, its history, and where you can buy it.
The history of the replica Rolex Lady-Date just technically began with the establishment of the Rolex brand in 1905. However, it was not until half a century later that the LadyDatejust watch actually made its first appearance. In the company’s early days, Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis specialized in putting imported movements into cases and selling them to jewelers.
During this period, Rolex was not really a watchmaker in the way that brands are today. In fact, when Rolex first started out, the brand did not have its own factory and did not actually produce anything. Instead, in its early days, Rolex would source the best components from third-party suppliers and make complete perfect replica watches, often bearing the name of the jewelry store where they would eventually be sold.
Rolex released the first Lady-Datejust in 1957, which followed the great success of the men’s model. It had all the features of the men’s Datejust, including a water-resistant Oyster case, a self-winding movement, and the brand’s signature date window at 3 o’clock.
