The story
The Lady-Datejust brings the Datejust’s date window, Cyclops lens and Oyster case to a smaller size. For decades it measured 26 mm; since 2015 it has been 28 mm.
It is offered in an unusually wide range of metals, bezels, dials and bracelets, from Oystersteel on an Oyster bracelet to gem-set gold on the President.
