Unveiled in 1945, the Rolex Datejust marked a revolution in wristwatches by introducing an automatically changing date window at midnight, housed in the robust Oyster case and powered by the innovative Perpetual movement. By the 1950s, Rolex extended this pioneering technology to women with the Lady-Datejust, offering the same blend of elegance and precision in a more refined, smaller case. This adaptation quickly became a symbol of sophistication, available in a variety of precious materials and often embellished with diamonds, all while preserving the Datejust’s classic appeal. The reference 69 088 exemplifies this legacy with unparalleled grace and luxury. Crafted from 18k yellow gold, this Lady-Datejust radiates timeless opulence. Its deep blue degrade dial is both striking and refined, featuring diamond hour markers that lend a touch of sparkle and sophistication. The bezel, adorned with a ring of brilliant-cut diamonds, further enhances the watch’s luxurious allure, while sapphire accents at the quarters provide a subtle yet vibrant contrast. As part of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust family, it boasts Rolex’s renowned automatic movement. The watch is presented in a striking blue box with a “jubilee” decoration, adorned with the Rolex name, adding to its allure. With its combination of diamonds, sapphires, and luxurious materials, this Lady-Datejust is a superb choice for any discerning collector or connoisseur of fine luxury watches.
