First launched in 1957 as the female counterpart to the legendary Datejust, this petite icon has quietly defined the luxury women’s watch for almost seventy years. Blending warm gold and cool steel in Rolex’s smallest, most jewelry forward size, it is built for the woman who wants everyday sparkle that still feels like an heirloom. If you love pieces that whisper old money while winking at the room, this one belongs in your rotation.

Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Set against a silver sunray dial, nine round diamonds sit in star shaped 18 karat gold settings, joined by a Roman numeral nine filled with eight more diamonds, catching the light like a tiny private galaxy. Framed by a fluted bezel in solid 18 karat yellow gold, the face gives off that unmistakable Rolex shimmer that turns heads across a dinner table. Wrapped around the wrist in a two tone Jubilee bracelet of steel and gold, the five piece links stay soft, flexible, and dressy enough for a gown or a Tuesday.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. Powered by a self winding 2236 movement with about 55 hours of power reserve, this piece keeps running on the wrist and stays water resistant to 100 meters thanks to its screw down Twinlock crown. To wake it up after it has been resting, unscrew the winding crown on the right side of the case and give it about thirty gentle turns, since an automatic like this has no hard stop and cannot be overwound. Pull the crown to the middle position to quick set the date, and roll it back to yesterday’s date first. Then pull the crown all the way out, which stops the seconds hand, and turn the hands forward past midnight until today’s date appears, then keep going to the correct time, before pushing the crown back in and screwing it down to lock the water out.

Comes as a complete set, double boxed with the outer box, inner presentation box, original guarantee card, green seal tag, swing tag, instructional booklets, and card holder.

Few watches pull off dressy and durable at the same time the way this petite powerhouse does. Equal parts jewelry and Swiss engineering, it slips under a cuff at the office and steals the show at dinner without ever trying too hard. For the collector who believes the best sparkle is the kind you actually wear every day, a quiet conversation about this one might be the easiest yes you make all year.
