A bit of it's story: the Rolex Lady Datejust has been at the top of the list since its introduction in 1957, a massively popular version of the legendary men’s model, given a scaled-down, feminine twist.
Because the first Lady Datejust arrived so long after the men’s, it wasn’t subjected to the same sort of unsettled beginnings. By the end of the 1950s, most of the series’ aesthetics had already been finalized by a certain amount of trial and error, and the movement had been upgraded to be as good as the era’s technology would allow. That meant the women’s piece was able to benefit from the work already put in, and the debut reference, the ref. 65XX range, lasted up until 1970.
Following on from that, the ref. 69XX family stayed in production up until 1983, almost identical to its predecessor save for a new caliber.
