Some of the Rolex watch women are gawking over aren’t the smaller-sized women’s watches anymore, but rather the larger men’s models. There’s a growing trend of women opting for larger, traditionally masculine models. This shift in preference highlights the versatility of Rolex’s designs and their appeal across genders. On the flip side, there are men opting for some of the more feminine choices. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the top Rolex models that have captured the hearts of both men and women, showcasing the versatility and enduring charm of these horological masterpieces.
Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 Everose
The rose-hued alloy of the Rolex Yacht-Master isn’t just for the ladies. If you had any doubt, this color has long been associated with vintage men’s timepieces. So, to see it in such a striking color on a contemporary sports watch is quite the modern twist.
Now that we’ve gotten the issue of it being ‘pink’ out of the way, the unique look and feel of this watch is something that any watch collector would love to strap on his or her wrist. The juxtaposition of that luxurious Rolex Yacht-Master rose gold watch against the sporty black matte, Cerachrom bezel and matching black rubber (titanium lined) Rolex Oysterflex strap is proving to be iconic and completely unisex. Although it is technically classified as a men’s model rather than one of the many Rolex watches for women, the 40mm sizing of the case means that this Everose Yacht-Master is going to look at home on wrists of any size and gender.
Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 Rolesium
Like the Everose gold Yacht-Master on our list, this is actually a men’s watch. However, this Rolesium Yacht-Master has gotten particular attention from the ladies for its stylish pairing of sturdy stainless steel with luxurious platinum. While the case and bracelet are outfitted in 904L steel, the bezel and dial of this watch are actually made of vibrant 950 platinum, giving this timepiece a uniquely sporty and elegant appearance.
This Rolex Yacht-Master exists in a couple of different sizes, and while the smaller models are possibly better options as far as Rolex watches for women, the 40mm variant offers maximum versatility. It can be comfortably worn by male and female Rolex collectors. This is the perfect luxury sports watch for everyday wear – providing amazing durability while boasting beautiful and luxurious details that make it fancy enough to dress up for more formal occasions. Wear this at the office, on the weekend, date night – whenever; the Rolesium Yacht-Master model (Rolex 116622) is the perfect timekeeping companion.
Rolex Daytona 116505 Everose
The Everose gold Daytona ref. 116505 is one of the most striking Daytona models ever produced – the entire case, dial, bezel, and bracelet dripping in Rolex proprietary rose-hued alloy. The Rolex 116505 stands out among many luxury watch options. In contrast, Rolex has used black indices on the dial and bezel, as well as outfitted the sub-dials in black. It is a masculine juxtaposition that’s also quite cool and contemporary, and it’s going to look great on your wrist.
The Rolex 116505 history reveals that this reference wasn’t initially conceived as a women’s timepiece. However, the Daytona’s singular case size has inadvertently created a versatile platform. As the model evolved, certain iterations of the 116505 emerged as surprisingly adaptable, appealing to a diverse range of wearers regardless of gender. This unexpected flexibility in the watch’s design and aesthetics has allowed it to transcend traditional gender-specific categorizations in the world of luxury timepieces, making it a popular choice for both men and women who appreciate its distinctive style and heritage.
