The latest Ladies’ Watch of the Week not only represents a return to one our luxury second hand timepieces, but it is also a return to a model from Rolex’s peerlessly celebrated range of Datejust watches. The timepiece in question is a Rolex Ladies’ Diamond Set Datejust watch, and this stunningly attractive timepiece is brought to you in immaculate condition. Rolex refers to the Lady Datejust family as an ‘ode to passion and beauty’, and this mid-sized and elegantly understated wristwatch certainly does not disappoint even when compared with such an extravagant benchmark.
When a collection of timepieces has been lavished with such acclaim as that received by Rolex Datejust watches, there are certain prestigious standards that must certainly be achieved by every new member. Needless to say, this Lady Datejust passes them all with consummate ease. Aesthetically, the timepiece is a relatively contemporary blend of 904L stainless steel and 18 carat white gold, along with a gorgeously ethereal white mother-of-pearl dial, yet it still manages to uphold the Datejust’s unmatched heritage with considerable aplomb. The monobloc case and screwed down caseback and crown are fairly typical of Oyster watches, yet Rolex always manages to avoid duplication with a series of careful contemplations.
The unblemished 31mm case of this Lady Datejust is larger than many ladies’ wristwatches, but that only results in there being additional space available to present the breathtaking halo of diamonds that crowns the summit of the bezel. Certain timepieces that make use of a substantial amount of diamond adornments risk looking excessive in their splendour, yet, as might be expected, this Lady Datejust succeeds in allowing modesty and eye catching brilliance to converge into a single splendid form. The 6 o’clock Roman Numeral also follows this pattern, yet its diamond settings do not ever unbalance the dial of the Datejust in any way.
Practically, this Lady Datejust is also well equipped for the needs of the sophisticated modern woman. The sapphire crystal is fully scratch resistant, and also plays host to one of Rolex’s famous Cyclops lenses to enable the date to always be easily visible, whilst the aforementioned crown is of the ‘Twinlock’ variety to ensure water resistance to 100 metres. The Jubilee style bracelet, with its five-piece links is also optimised for comfort, and also utilises a completely concealed crown clasp for an even smoother fit.
The crowning jewel within any Swiss luxury watch is a mechanical movement. However, it has been observed that certain women might forgo the appeal of such an escapement in favour of a more convenient quartz type movement, and so Rolex has ensured that this Calibre 2235 movement self-winds via a Perpetual rotor. This means that the precision of a chronometer movement can be combined with the versatility of a watch that will rarely need winding manually, undeniably resulting in this Lady Datejust being a wristwatch that is at home in any environment.
Despite this Lady Datejust being a member of our collection of second hand watches, its beautiful condition is quite enough to disguise that fact. The timepiece has been painstakingly verified by Rolex themselves, and has passed as 100% genuine in nature, allowing you to buy from us with complete confidence. Furthermore, this chronometer is also still in possession of its official display box and papers that are under two years old. Completed by a full 1 year warranty, this really does represent an exceptional opportunity to benefit from a vast saving on such an iconic piece of ocular horology.
Normally expected to retail at £10,400, here at Banks Lyon this faultless timepiece is on sale for an astonishing £2,150 less that the price for an equivalent timepiece in untouched condition. As a registered stockist, we also stock a full range of these first-hand Rolex watches in addition to our second-hand array, so the scale of choice that we can offer is, quite simply, unparalleled.
