March 23rd, 2010

The Oyster Perpetual Date Just Lady collection features a 31mm case, sculptured in yellow, white and Everose Rolesor, perfect to today’s standards. There is a rather wide range of dials and decors available for the new watch. Decorated on the dark rhodium, champagne and pink dial are well-designed flora motifs, produced with an electroforming technique. It boasts a very subtle deposition of material that reproduces the design with extreme precision. These eye-catching motifs provide the dial with pleasing volume.

Framing the beautiful dial is a fluted or domed bezel encrusted with 24 or 46 scintillating brilliants, relefcting the slightly rebellious and mischievous side of the pieces with a hint of intrigue. At 6 o’clock is the gem-set Roman numeral hour marker that adds a quintessential, unique touch to the new Rolex watch.

The elegant watch case houses a self-winding Rolex Calibre 2235 movement with a Perpetual rotor. It sports the date function of instantaneous change and rapid setting. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph, this COSC-certified chronometer movement offers a power reserve of 48 hours.

Joining the watch to feminine wrists is a classic Oyster bracelet in the same material with the case, fitted with a Oyster clasp with Easylink comfort extension link.
