Launched in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona has long since transcended its status in the world of watchmaking to become an icon. Its name, inextricably linked to the famous racetrack, as well as its graphic face, have made it a legend. Yet it is at the heart of this exceptional chronograph that the true mechanics of the legend beat: a movement designed and produced entirely by the Rolex Manufacture that delivers superlative performance in all circumstances. Constantly improved and refined over time, the Cosmograph Daytona has proved to be as reliable as it is precise.

In the 1950s, the exploration of the underwater world was no longer limited to scientists and the military. The Submariner was launched at a time when diving was becoming increasingly popular. The public’s fascination with ocean exploration led to the establishment of the first diving schools.

Waterproof, robust, technical and perfectly legible, the Submariner was designed with this new-found popularity in mind. It became the tool watch of choice for divers, giving them the confidence to venture into the depths.

This is how some may describe our Oyster Perpetual Lady‑Datejust. Maybe they’re right. Since the early 20th century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for the wrists of every woman, with the same standard of excellence as all the models that have built its legend. So, if “classic” means always pursuing a higher standard, if it means perpetuating tradition while combining elegance with precision, grace with resistance, beauty with performance… then the Lady-Datejust is, indeed, a classic timepiece designed for a lady.
