Rolex Datejust 36 White Dial 126231

Product detailed description

Rolex Datejust 36 — Ref. 126231

A softer interpretation of the classic Datejust. The Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 126231 brings together Oystersteel and 18 ct Everose gold in a combination that gives the familiar Datejust silhouette a warmer, more contemporary character. A white lacquered dial, fluted Everose-gold bezel and Jubilee bracelet create a restrained composition where the contrast of steel and rose gold becomes the defining detail.

Why choose this model?

The warmth of Everose Rolesor
The combination of Oystersteel and 18 ct Everose gold gives the watch a more subtle warmth than traditional yellow-gold Rolesor while preserving the unmistakable Datejust identity.

White lacquer, kept deliberately clean
The white dial provides a bright, understated foundation for the applied hour markers. Rolex creates its lacquered dials by applying successive layers of lacquer to a brass base, followed by a colourless varnish that gives the surface additional depth and shine.

A bezel that carries the character
Here, the fluted bezel is made from Everose gold, giving the otherwise restrained white-and-steel composition its strongest visual accent. Originally developed for a functional purpose, Rolex's fluting has evolved into one of the brand's most recognizable design signatures.

The Jubilee connection
The five-piece Jubilee bracelet was created specifically for the launch of the Datejust in 1945. Its supple construction gives the watch a distinctly classic feel, while the Oysterclasp and Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link add practicality to the refined design.

Modern mechanics beneath a classic exterior
Inside the 36 mm Oyster case is Rolex calibre 3235, a self-winding movement with an approximately 70-hour power reserve. It provides instantaneous date adjustment, stop-seconds for precise time setting and Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certification, with a precision of −2/+2 seconds per day after casing.

Model story. A Datejust with a warmer character
Since its introduction in 1945, the Datejust has evolved through changes in materials, colours and proportions while retaining its essential identity.
