The Rolex Date and Datejust are some of the most iconic and beloved Rolex watches ever made. Launched in 1945, it has remained a timeless classic, instantly recognizable as an item of true quality and functional design.

Taking all those iconic cues from the men's Date and shrinking them down, this ladies' Date is one for the ages. Featuring an 18k gold case with a matching mesh bracelet and a champagne dial, it's just about as regal and eye-catching as possible, though it could just as easily be worn with jeans and a tee shirt as it could an evening gown.

This piece would make an excellent start for a new vintage collector, or be a great addition to an expanding collection.
