Rolex Datejust 36mm Steel and Yellow Gold

The Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 126233 represents the current-generation evolution of the classic two-tone Rolesor Datejust, combining 904L Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold in a configuration that has defined elegant versatility for generations of collectors. Currently in active production, this reference succeeded the 116233 with the integration of Rolex's latest caliber architecture and refined Jubilee bracelet construction. This example presents a champagne sunray dial with luminescent baton hour markers — a warm, sophisticated dial choice that harmonises with the yellow gold elements throughout the case and bracelet. The fixed fluted 18k yellow gold bezel provides the quintessential Datejust signature.

The Caliber 3235 self-winding movement marks a significant advancement over its 3135 predecessor, incorporating Rolex's proprietary Chronergy escapement for 15% greater energy efficiency alongside the blue Parachrom hairspring for paramagnetic precision and Paraflex shock absorbers for enhanced impact resistance. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 31 jewels, the movement delivers a 70-hour power reserve and achieves Superlative Chronometer certification to -2/+2 seconds per day — tested by Rolex internally after casing. The bidirectional self-winding Perpetual rotor ensures efficient winding across all wrist movements.

The two-tone Jubilee bracelet in Oystersteel and yellow gold Rolesor features the polished five-piece link construction iconic to the Datejust, secured by a folding Oysterclasp with Easylink 5mm comfort extension for quick bracelet length adjustment. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnifier over the date aperture at 3 o'clock provides easy readability. The champagne sunray dial with luminescent applied baton markers pairs timeless elegance with practical legibility. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.
