Rolex is known for venturing into the unknown and taking innovation in timepieces to the next level. Rolex has never shied away from taking upon itself to introduce timepieces that would be the first of their kind. The Rolex Datejust was the first wristwatch that would have an automatically changing date on the dial. Rolex was also the first watchmaker to earn a chronometer certification for its wristwatches. An actress who has always been game to try something new is Nicollette Sheridan. She is best known for her portrayal of the character Edie Britt in the comedy drama series Desperate Housewives. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition collection has some of the most bewitching timepieces.

The character of Edie Britt played by Nicollette Sheridan has been the most experimental on the series. Nicollette Sheridan has played the role of a realtor and serial divorcée with conviction on the show. The show has brought international recognition to the star who is also known for her portrayal of Paige Matheson on Knots Landing. Though she began her career with the primetime soap
opera Paper Dolls in 1984, she caught attention with Knots Landing in 1986. Born in West Sussex, England to British actress Sally Sheridan, Nicollette Sheridan migrated to the United States in 1973. In 1990 Nicollette Sheridan won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Lead Actress: Prime Time and in 1991 won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Heroine: Prime Time along with being named in the People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People. After Knots Landing she has made appearances on shows like Will & Grace, Silver Strand, Murder in My Mind, The Legend of Tarzan and Deadly Betrayal. Nicollette Sheridan has also acted in movies like The Sure Thing, Spy Hard, Beverly Hills Ninja, Dead Husbands, Lost Treasure, Deadly Visions and Code Name: The Cleaner.

The Rolex Datejust Special Edition is quite different in design from the regular oyster collection. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition timepiece in diamonds and white gold makes for a very enchanting watch as it has an Arabesque design. The Arabesque design that has diamonds set on its dial also runs over to the bracelet. The timepiece is 34mm in size and is made of 18 ct white gold. All the materials used in Rolex timepieces guarantee purity as they are processed in Rolex’s own foundry. The diamonds are exceptionally clear as they are handpicked by craftsmen at Rolex and checked individually for internal flaws. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition timepieces come in a variation of yellow gold and different diamond-set patterns. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition is a part of the Oyster collection of Rolex. Each timepiece of the Oyster collection guarantees water resistance down to depths of 100m. The timepiece comes with a certification by the COSC which means it has been tested for precise performance in various positions over a period of 15 days. The bracelet of the timepiece is an Oyster special edition and is also adorned with brilliants. The crystal of choice for the Rolex Datejust Special Edition is Sapphire. The Rolex Datejust Special Edition is quite unique, as unique as the spectrum of roles played by Nicollette Sheridan.
