Spotlight On: model Rosie Huntington Whiteley
and her choice watches, from Rolex and Patek
Philippe.
While men would typically shy away from wearing
ladies' watches, more and more women are turning
to timepieces designed for men. One of the
first celebrities to rock this look is model
and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Rosie, who's also juggling her roles as wife,
mother, and beauty entrepreneur, used to be
the poster girl for girl-next-door looks,
but her style has evolved into non-fussy silhouettes
combined with edgy, statement pieces. Her
go to accessory? A man's watch.
Take your style cues from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,
and see how she carries mens timepieces with
equal ease and aplomb:
Ever the trailblazer, Rosie started wearing
her mens 40 millimeter Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
as early as the 2010s.
A classic stainless steel chronograph won't
be missing from a collector's watch box, and
the Rolex Daytona Steel Chronograph is always
top of mind.
With a tachymeter bezel that measures speeds
of up to 400 kilometers per hour, this is
a tool watch through and through, but the
classic styling looks good with virtually
any ensemble.
In 2016, the stainless steel bezel Daytona
was replaced by the ceramic bezel model. The
much-awaited model pairs the desirable satin
and polished Oystersteel finish, with a rich
black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert.
This is easily one of the most coveted Rolex
models today, and has a years-long waiting
list at authorized dealers.

The Rolex Datejust is the choice daily watch
among men and women because of its timeless
design, unparalleled precision, and iconic
reputation.
Rosie wears a Rolesor steel and Everose model,
combined with diamond hour markers, an exquisite
silver dial, and the supple, almost jewelry-like Jubilee
bracelet.
This can be a fashion-forward choice – women
can wear it in place of, or even stacked with,
other jewelry.
While the 36 millimeter Rolex Datejust is
traditionally a men's timepiece, it has a slightly
oversized look on a woman's wrist that is
currently in vogue.
If there's a men's watch that female A-listers
love, the Everose Gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
would definitely be it.
It’s not just Rosie who loves it! Seen on
the wrists of Sofia Vergara, Victoria Beckham,
Miley Cyrus and Ellen DeGeneres, among others,
the  robust Daytona in a warm rose gold color,
strikes the balance between a sports watch
and a precious gold timepiece.
Wearers of the Everose Gold Daytona can also
choose between a rose gold bezel or a black
Cerachrom ceramic bezel, as well as a full
Everose Oyster bracelet or a Rolex leather
strap.
While Rosie is mostly loyal to Rolex, she’s
made space for one iconic Patek Philippe piece
– the Nautilus in rose gold.
Launched in 1976, the Patek Philippe Nautilus
was one of the pioneers of stainless steel
timepieces, as most watches at the time only
came in precious metals.
This warm rose gold piece softens the sporty
and angular nature of the Nautilus, while
the beautiful brown dial and diamond bezel
complement the luster of the precious metal.
Just like Rosie, ladies in the know are turning
to mens timepieces for quality, durability,
and serious style.
