Rolex Lady-Datejust
For over 60 years, the Lady-Datejust has been a standout Rolex model for women. It’s the classic Datejust in a smaller 28mm size, perfect if you prefer a more traditional ladies’ watch silhouette.
Why it stands out:
- Features Rolex’s Cyclops lens for easy date reading.

You’ll often see Lady-Datejust models passed down as heirlooms—their timeless appeal makes them just as relevant decades after purchase.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual 31
If you like your watch clean, understated, and timeless, the Oyster Perpetual 31 could be the one. It’s known for its minimalistic design and smooth bezel.
Why it’s a favourite:
- Comes in playful dial colours like turquoise blue, coral red, and candy pink.

Rolex Pearlmaster 34
This one’s for you if you love a bit of dazzle. The Pearlmaster 34 is Rolex’s take on jewellery watches—bold, bejewelled, and beautifully made.
What makes it stand out:
- Crafted exclusively in precious metals: 18ct yellow, white, or Everose gold.
- Often set with factory diamonds—on the bezel, bracelet, or even dial.
- A collector’s piece that combines watchmaking with fine jewellery.
Pearlmasters are relatively rare in the UK, which adds to their allure and long-term value.

How to Choose the Right Ladies Rolex for You
Choosing the right Rolex is personal, but a few key points can help guide your decision.
Consider Your Wrist Size
- If you’ve got a petite wrist, the 28mm Lady-Datejust or 31mm Oyster Perpetual will likely feel more comfortable.
- For a bolder statement, the Yacht-Master 37 or Datejust 36 could be ideal.
Think About Your Style
- Minimalist? Go for the Oyster Perpetual.
- Classic? You’ll love the Lady-Datejust or Datejust 31.
- Glamorous? The Pearlmaster is your perfect match.
Investment vs Daily Wear
- For investment: Models with precious metals or diamonds tend to hold value better.
- For daily use: Stainless steel models like the Oyster Perpetual are durable and versatile.
Watch Care Tips for Women
Once you’ve found your dream Rolex, keeping it in top condition is key. Here are a few simple care tips:
- Wipe it down regularly with a microfibre cloth to remove dirt and oils.
- Avoid magnets (like those in handbags or phone cases) to prevent timekeeping issues.
- Store it properly in a case or watch box when not in use.
- Service it every 5–10 years at an authorised Rolex service centre or trusted luxury watch buyer.
You can also ask for a pressure test during servicing to make sure the waterproof seals are intact—especially important if you wear your watch daily.
