You would be mistaken for thinking that a Rolex can only be worn on a man’s wrist. Women have been slowly but surely asserting themselves in the watch game and are using the infamous Rolex brand to show off their fashion, wealth and status alongside men. Let’s have a look at what watches famous women are going for and why a Rolex has become such a symbol of feminine strength.
President Day-Date Yellow gold, 36mm reference number: 118235 Wearing a men’s watch has become a bit of a trend for the rich and famous ladies and Jennifer Aniston was arguably setting this trend way before anyone else caught on. This watch has become a symbol of success because many US presidents and world leaders have worn this particular design and many other people enjoy the powerful feeling of wearing a Rolex President. The yellow gold especially emanates a power usually only worn by men but it looks incredible on a woman’s wrist and hopefully it will be a new long lasting trend. The oversized look on a lady’s wrist with the beautiful three link jubilee bracelet looks marvellous and pairs really nicely with any other bracelets
Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold with a Black Dial and Champagne Sub-Dials. reference number: 116528 Sofia Vergara loves this particular Rolex so much that she owns 3 different versions of it! The one she is seen wearing the most often is this 18k yellow gold model with the black dial however she also has an Everose gold plated version and another version with a black mother of pearl dial. She is very much a Rolex connoisseur and is an avid collector of watches, in particular men’s watches. She certainly suits the powerful, established and bold look of a larger watch and has happily joined the trend of women seeking a more bold piece on their wrist rather than the dainty, smaller women’s watches. The larger watch definitely pairs nicely with Sofia’s choice of chunkier or larger jewellery pieces as a smaller watch can sometimes just blend in and if you’re going to be spending all that money, you might aswell make it a piece people will notice.
Cosmograph Daytona Everose Gold with a Pink Dial and Black Sub-Dials. reference number:116505. Being an icon in the world of fashion Victoria has to pack a punch with her outfit choices and the right accessories can really help with this. She has an exquisite and extensive Rolex collection with one of her most frequently worn watches being this beautiful 18k Everose gold Daytona with its matching Oyster bracelet. The oversized look on a woman has definitely become fashionable in recent years and the pink dial with rose gold exterior adds femininity to this classic men’s watch.
DateJust, Stainless Steel with a Roman Numeral Dial and Fluted White Gold Bezel and Jubilee Bracelet. reference number: XXXXX. Lindsay has gone for a beautiful Rolex classic however just as the trend goes, she has gone with a men’s Datejust rater than a women’s. The larger size hangs loose around her smaller wrists for a relaxed, slouchy look and a stainless steel watch is a must have in anyones watch collection as it pairs beautifully with most outfits.
DateJust, Stainless Steel with a Pink Floral Motif Dial and White Gold Diamond Bezel. reference number: XXXXX. Rolex has a long and successful history in the sporting world and often looks for the next up and coming sportsperson to endorse their brand. Super Star tennis player Caroline Wozniacki is wearing a soft and feminine pink floral motif dial perfect for ladies that want to show off their more typically girly side. During a trend where women are wearing more bulky masculine looking watches, it is different to see a woman wearing a very stereotypically feminine piece and could be the perfect watch for someone looking for something a little different.
DateJust, Yellow Gold and Stainless Steel with a Mother of Pearl Dial and a Diamond Bezel. reference number: 69173 Of course Rihanna has plenty of other much more expensive and rare watches but this simple DateJust is the watch Rihanna seems to be photographed in quite often. A surprising choice for the cutting edge R&B performer however the two tone and simplicity of the Datejust allows for perfect wrist stacking as it blends well with all the other jewellery Rihanna tends to layer on her wrists. For ladies who love layering and stacking when it comes to accessorising, the low key classic DateJust blends perfectly.

DateJust, Stainless Steel, and Yellow Gold with a Black Roman Numeral Dial. reference number: XXXXX Trisha is wearing a classic and timeless Rolex.

DateJust, Yellow Gold with a Mother of Pearl Diamond Dot Dial and Diamond Bezel. reference number: XXXXX. Kim has gone for the larger 41mm size which hangs very loosely around her wrist making the Rolex seem peculiarly informal.

The diamond dot dial and bezel makes this outstanding watch stand out from the crowd. It has become increasingly popular for women to wear a Yellow Gold watch, something which is traditionally quite masculine as yellow gold represents power and prestige. It is a pleasure to see women catching on to the yellow gold trend and think that yellow gold is a colour more women should consider trying out.
GMT Master, Yellow Gold with an After Market Diamond Bezel. reference number: XXXXX The original GMT master was loved by pilots for its accurate time-keeping between different time zones.

Submariner, Stainless Steel with a black dial. reference number: 116610 Here Drew Barrymore has opted for a very masculine watch which is clearly incredibly oversized on her small wrists. Drew has used this masculine watch to her advantage to pull off a dark, gothic look in her ripped black jacket and it looks gorgeous. Not many women have the confidence to wear a watch this chunky and it seems that Drew has opted to have the appropriate number of links removed to make the watch stay firm against her wrist, unlike many other women who have been sticking to the loose hanging oversized trend. It does seem that women have decided to move from smaller, modest ladies watches to bulkier, very noticeable men’s watches and it’s a trend that is clearly going to stay.
