Watch Description
This Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust in Oystersteel and yellow gold features a silver, diamond-set dial and a Jubilee bracelet.
This dial features diamonds in 18 kt gold settings. The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial.
Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.
The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Lady-Datejust.
Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties.
A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.
The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology.
And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Jubilee, a supple and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet, was designed and made especially for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945.

# Rolex Lady Datejust Two Tone Diamond Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Rolex Lady Datejust Two Tone Diamond is an elegant luxury dress watch tailored for women, featuring a refined 28mm Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold Rolesor case with a domed bezel set with 28 brilliant-cut diamonds, a sunray silver dial with applied indices, and a matching two-tone Jubilee bracelet for sophisticated everyday versatility; it targets stylish professional women seeking timeless prestige, powered by the in-house automatic Caliber 2236 with a 55-hour power reserve, Parachrom hairspring, and Superlative Chronometer certification at -2/+2 seconds per day.
## Overall Watch Rating: 8.3/10.0
**Material Metric (9.6/10.0)** - Rolex's use of 904L Oystersteel, 18k yellow gold, and scratchproof sapphire crystal with impeccable polishing rivals the finest precious metal cases from Patek Philippe.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.6/10.0)** - The Datejust's pioneering 1945 automatic date complication and modern advancements like the Chronergy escapement cement its legacy akin to the original Oyster Perpetual.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The diamond-set bezel, fluted accents, and luminous indices deliver exquisite femininity and legibility, on par with Vacheron Constantin's refined aesthetics.
**Movement Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Caliber 2236 offers exceptional accuracy, shock resistance, and 55-hour reserve with Syloxi hairspring, outperforming most competitors like Omega's 8800.
**Brand Metric (9.1/10.0)** - Rolex's century-old prestige and global dominance earn elite status, much like Audemars Piguet's position in luxury horology.
**Versatility Metric (8.8/10.0)** - This two-tone jewel transitions seamlessly from boardroom to evening events, more adaptable than dedicated divers like the Submariner.
**Rarity Metric (8.0/10.0)** - At its premium price point with controlled production, it strikes a balance rarer than mass-market Seikos but more accessible than limited Pateks.
**Functions Metric (4.5/10.0)** - Reliable time and date suffice for daily use but lack the multifunctionality of a GMT or chronograph like the Omega Seamaster.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - The magnified date window provides solid utility but trails complex pieces like IWC's perpetual calendars.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 9.4
## WM Collector Grade: A+
## Performance Insights: Exceptional brand prestige, materials, movement, and design drive high scores, while basic functions temper complexity, delivering strong value well above the $9,200 implied price.
## TPS Interpretation: Outstanding Value: This Rolex dramatically exceeds price-expected performance through superior build quality, innovation, and enduring appeal.
