Are Rolex Watches Unisex?

Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian Wearing Gold Rolex Day-Date Watches

While Rolex labels most of their wristwatch models like the Submariner and the Day-Date as men's watches on their official website, many women choose to purchase them instead of the watches they label as women's. As far as women's models go, the watchmaker offers the Lady-Datejust and Pearlmaster in sizes that range from 26mm to 39mm.

Superstars like Rihanna have been photographed wearing women's models, but it is more common to see female celebrities in men's models. The Day-Date is a popular model for both men and women, specifically Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian. Justin Timberlake and LeBron James also wear gold Day-Dates. (For more information on the Day-Date, check out my model post here.)

Some say that men's models are too large women's wrists, but Charlize Theron makes a case for the contrary, wearing a Deepsea - the largest Rolex currently in production. Gender inequality is still a major issue in most parts of the world, but many women today feel completely comfortable shopping for watches in the mens section. So even though they may not be labeled as such, they can still be considered unisex based on current fashion trends.
