Caroline Kennedy

America's First Daughter

Rolex Two-Tone Datejust on Jubilee Bracelet

When I think of Caroline Kennedy, the term "America's First Daughter" pops into my head. I say this as she was a small girl, when she was in the White House with her legendary mother, Jackie, and father, JFK. In a way, Caroline is kind of like American royalty, and I think of her as being like a distant relative, kind of the way I used to think of Queen Elizabeth, in the sense that she was a fixture that was always there in our lives.

When I think of Rolex as a brand, I think of the word "classic". It's interesting to note that everything considered classic today, was once considered to be modern. When I think of any of the Kennedy family, including Caroline Kennedy, I also think of the word classic. 

Caroline Kennedy is pictured below with her father, former U.S. President, John F. Kennedy and her Mother, Jackie Kennedy. Some of Caroline Kennedy's cousins wear Rolex watches, including Maria Shriver and Ted Kennedy Jr. Somebody once told me Bobby Kennedy also wore a Rolex Submariner, but I have never been able to find a photo of him wearing one? If you want to check out pictures of her brother, JFK Jr. wearing his Rolex Submariner, along with other Kennedy's rocking Rolex watches, click here.

Below is the first photo I am aware of that shows Caroline Kennedy wearing her two-tone Rolex Ladies Datejust. Her brother John F. Kennedy is sitting next to her. I am pretty certain this photo was taken close to a half-century ago at Andover Boarding School around 1975-1976. 

The next photo seen below was taken four decades later, and Caroline Kennedy is still wearing the exact same Rolex Datejust. Caroline Kennedy is pictured below with then First Lady, Michelle Obama attending the 50th anniversary of the Whitehouse Historical Association. Caroline Kennedy is wearing her 34mm Ladies Rolex Two-Tone Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee Bracelet.

Speaking of classic, and Kennedy, below we see a video interview from 2017 of Caroline Kennedy with her son, who is JFK's grandson. 

First Lady of The United States: Eleanor Roosevelt

 

First Lady of The United States

Eleanor Roosevelt

Rolex Oyster Perpetual

I once heard a rumor that both U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman wore Rolex watches. Of course, I spent a zillion hours looking for examples of them wearing Rolex watches, but to date the first U.S. President I documented wearing a Rolex was Dwight Eisenhower. When Nick Gould recently shared the following images with me of former First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt wearing a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, I almost fell out of my chair. Nick mentioned Charlie Dunne shared them with him.

Eleanor Roosevelt is pictured below in the White House with her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) having a nice fireside chat with their dogs by their side. Speaking of President Roosevelt and watches, we know for a fact he had superb taste in watches as he gave the Dalai Lama a Patek Philippe Pocketwatch in 1943. This early gift from Rosevelt seems to have inspired the Dalai Lama to not only collect watches but to become a watchmaker—not to mention wearing different Rolex watch models.

Eleanor Roosevelt is pictured below with her husband, President Roosevelt on January 20, 1941 as they return to the White House following his third term election.

Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most beloved First Ladies of The United States and in the photo below we see the U.S. Presidents and First Ladies attending here funeral. From left to right we see Lady Bird Johnson, Jaqueline & John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Harry Truman, as well as Mamie and Dwight Eisenhower.

The only other former First Lady I recall seeing wearing a Rolex was Hillary Clinton who is pictured below wearing her two-tone Rolex Ladies Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet.
