Designer

Emmanuel Gueit

Emmanuel Gueit came from a family of Geneva jewellers and was barely into his twenties when he drew the oversized Royal Oak Offshore in 1993 — a watch the house's traditionalists resisted and collectors turned into an icon.

Historical significance

Rolex Datejust 126234-0052 Oystersteel White Gold Mint Green Dial 36mm Women’s Watch sits within Rolex's Datejust line, introduced in 2016. It carries the house codes established since 1905 — 18k yellow gold case, black lacquer dial dial and manual-winding manufacture calibre — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.

Brand history

Rolex has spent more than 121 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Submariner, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.

Hans Wilsdorf established Rolex in 1905, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Rolex calibre produced today.
