When Rolex launched the Datejust in 1945, it was an everyday watch, a stroke of beautiful efficiency in a busy postwar world, its name signifying the tiny calendar at three o'clock. The new version, with diamonds for pistils on the 24 flowers that blossom across its face, is a wrist corsage of modern femininity. (In addition to the blue, photographed here amid thistle, the Datejust 31 comes in silver and olive green.)
