Why not check out the wide assortment of top of the line Rolexes available for your instant perusal and it’s just like you’re in an huge Rolex watch shop, only better because you can do all your research, comparisons, and ordering from the comfort of your own home.

But before you get started on tracking down your best Rolex, you should first learn some basics on what makes one Rolex unique from another and on what are the top-selling women’s Rolexes on the market today.

Some Tips On What Differentiates Rolexes

Whichever model of Rolex you end up going with, you want to know exactly what you’re looking at. So here are some “Rolex basics” to help guide your eye to see the details and unique points that distinguish one Rolex from another:

• The dial, or face, of your watch is the number one area to look to identify the model, aside from reading the time and other information. Almost all Rolex dials will have 18K gold hour markers, but the color, texture, type, and icons differ greatly.
• The “appliques” added to your dial face, such as numbers, the 12-o’clock “crown,” diamonds or gems set into each hour mark, whether the bezel is ceramic or aluminum, and other features do much to give your watch its “personality.” There are over 1,000 different applique patterns made by Rolex.
• If you go gold (and all Rolexes have at least some gold on them), then you need to choose between yellow, pink, or white gold. Otherwise, the body of the watch will be steel. Rolex uses the most scratch resistant grade of steel and the most luminescent gold (18K) in the world on all their wristwatches.
• Some Rolex watches have beautiful, natural leather for the wristband, while others have the metal “oyster band with clasp.” Be sure your band fits snug, and choose the style you’ll be happiest with.

The 5 Top-Selling Women’s Rolex Watches

There are literally hundreds of women’s Rolexes you can peruse online, some of them differing from each other only slightly while others are drastically different. We can’t go over them all here. But what we can do is give you a brief overview of the five most popular Rolex watches among women today:

1. Lady Datejust

Whether in Oyster steel or yellow gold, or in steel plus gold, Datejust remains a masterpiece of engineering and a classic Rolex that’s always in style. The steel-gold combo, with a gold band running down the middle of the wristband flanked by steel on both sides, gives you the greatest flexibility in style, so you can match it with anything in your wardrobe and/or jewelry box.

The window dial with auto-adjusting date is the signature of the Datejust series, and the Datejust itself is excessively waterproof, being as it is a part of the “Oyster” family of Rolex watches. The Lady Datejust is a bit smaller in size than the regular Datejust, and it sometimes has special features, like a diamond bezel for example, to make it even more distinctive in appearance.

2. Pearlmaster

This is easily one of the most distinctively feminine of all Rolex watches, and it’s also one of the most beautiful to look at. Rolex itself considers it their most important “jewelry watch,” due to the diamonds, sapphires, or other gemstones that surround the outer case and that are embedded at each “O’clock” on the face.

The Pearlmaster is the very definition of elegant, is full of sparkle, and has a somewhat more roundish shape than other Rolex wristwatches. It is the most over the top extravagant, jewel bedecked example of a Rolex you’re ever going to find.

3. Cosmograph Daytona

If you’re into a more sporty Rolex, that’s a little more on the fast-paced, exciting side, try the Cosmograph Daytona. The Daytona is the watch Paul Newman made famous, and it is the top choice among race car drivers to this day.

Use the stopwatch and the 3 dials for calculating your driving speed for work, play, or entertainment. Many put the watch in rose gold to give it a more feminine touch.

4. The Day-Date

The Day-Date gives you a window for auto-adjustment of both day of the week and date of the month. It was the final masterpiece of Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf before he passed away. It is often put in full gold for the biggest visual impact.

5. The Submariner

For women who like a sharp contrastive look (pitch black dial and bright stainless steel body), a mix of elegance and sturdiness, and the absolute limit on water resistance – try the Submariner. If you love James Bond movies – you’ll be glad to know you’re wearing his watch! And the numbers are visible in dim light against the dark black dial.

Again, these are our picks for the five most popular women’s Rolex watches going into 2019, but be sure to research online to find other options and to customize your watch down to the tiniest details. After all, this could be a once in a lifetime investment, so take your time to get it right!
