What is the Rolex Lady President Watch?

The Rolex President Bracelet

When Rolex launched the Day-Date model in 1956, the watch debuted a brand new bracelet style called the President Bracelet. The Rolex President Bracelet is crafted from semi-circular links in a three-link configuration and has become almost as famous as the Day-Date watch itself. One thing that sets the President bracelet apart from other Rolex bracelets like the Oyster and the Jubilee, is that Rolex only makes the President bracelet in precious metals–whether that’s 18k gold or 950 platinum.

While the President bracelet is mostly associated with the men’s Day-Date model, Rolex does equip some select women’s Datejust models with the Presidental bracelet too.

Rolex Lady-Datejust Presidential

Within the vast assortment of ladies’ Datejust watches, there are some models that come fitted with the iconic President bracelet. These Rolex Lady President watch models can be in the form of the Lady-Datejust 26, the Lady-Datejust 28, or the Datejust 31. In case you were not aware, those numbers in the Rolex watch name indicate the size of the case: 26mm, 28mm, or 31mm.

Like the men’s Day-Date President watches, the Rolex lady President watches are also exclusively made in precious metals. However, unlike the Day-Date models, since these watches belong to the Datejust collection, the dials only include a date window on the dial (and not the day window).

Over the course of the women’s Datejust’s history, Rolex has made yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum versions of the Lady President watch–some embellished with diamonds and other precious gemstones.

It’s clear that among Rolex’s women’s watches, the platinum or full gold Datejust watches fitted with a President bracelet are some of the most beautiful and luxurious. So the next time you hear the term Rolex President, remember that there are plenty of Lady President options to choose from too.
