Since the character of Rachel Green first appeared on our screens in ‘Friends’ back in 1994, Jennifer Aniston has been firmly established as a style icon and a trend-setter. Back in the day, she started her own hair style trend and in more recent times, she has been at the forefront of a trend when it comes to ladies’ watches as well.
Indeed, the actress is one of a host of popular female celebrities who have been wearing larger luxury watches from brands like Rolex. Although many of these watches were historically seen as men’s watches, that description is becoming increasingly redundant, because they look just as great on a woman’s wrist.
In this blog post, we take a much closer look at the various Rolex models Jennifer Aniston owns, and their sizes.
1. Rolex Day-Date President 118238 Champagne
By far the best-known watch in Jennifer Aniston’s personal collection is a Rolex Day-Date with a 36mm case diameter. It is this model which people tend to think of when discussing the trend of women wearing larger watches. The precise model she wears is constructed from 18k yellow gold, has a President bracelet and a champagne dial.
The actress has been spotted wearing this watch on countless occasions over a period of several years, so it seems fair to describe it as her favorite Rolex model. She even opted to wear it in one of her films, and in many ways, this truly is the perfect watch for Jennifer Aniston.
At 36mm it is slightly over-sized, making a clear fashion statement, but without completely dominating her wrist. The yellow gold material also adds a touch of feminine charm to the model and a number of female celebrities have opted for the same Rolex in recent times, including Reese Witherspoon and Hillary Duff.
2. Rolex Milgauss 116400 Black w/ Green Sapphire Crystal
If the slightly over-sized Day-Date didn’t already make a big enough statement, Jennifer Aniston also owns another Rolex model which is even bigger. Her Rolex Milgauss measures 40mm in diameter and has been customized with a DLC coating in matte-black, giving it a unique, powerful ‘blacked out’ aesthetic.
The watch has also been built to withstand magnetic fields of up to 1,000 Gauss, which is probably not a concern for the former ‘Friends’ star, but it is a symbol of just how technically advanced and robust the model is.
Wearing this model allows Jennifer Aniston to make a really bold, powerful statement. Like with the President Day-Date, her decision to wear the Milgauss has also helped to inspire other women to do so, and it is becoming and increasingly popular choice, albeit usually without the modifications.
3. Rolex Lady Datejust 115200 White Index 34mm
Finally, despite her tendency to wear larger so-called men’s watches, Jennifer Aniston is known to own at least one more classically feminine timepiece from the Rolex brand, in the form of the Lady Datejust. This watch has a 34mm case diameter, which is not small for a lady’s watch, but is certainly more traditionally sized.
The precise model she owns is constructed from stainless steel and has a white dial, giving it a much more understated appearance than either of the two aforementioned models, while still retaining the sense of extravagance and luxury associated with all Rolex timepieces.
Again, in many ways, this is a great choice of watch by Jennifer Aniston, because it provides her for an option when she is trying to tone things down, or draw slightly less attention. Despite the fashion trend she has helped to inspire, there is still a place for smaller, more traditional ladies’ watches and she recognizes that too.
