The story of this Rolex Datejust
Introduced in 1945, the Datejust line embodies Rolex’s functional elegance: the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date at 3 o’clock, enhanced by the Cyclops lens and an instantly recognisable design. Reference 116233 continues this heritage in Rolesor, with the timeless 36 mm diameter that has become a benchmark of contemporary watchmaking.
Case, calibre and bracelet
This watch features a 36 mm Oyster case combining 904L stainless steel and 18-carat yellow gold, water-resistant to 100 m thanks to its screwed caseback and crown. The fluted gold bezel underscores the piece’s character. Inside beats Rolex’s self-winding manufacture calibre 3135 (31 jewels, 28,800 vph, approx. 48-hour power reserve), certified as a Superlative Chronometer. The black dial with subtle “Rolex” pattern and applied yellow-gold Roman numerals ensures excellent date legibility. The Jubilee bracelet closes with a Rolex deployant clasp for seamless comfort on the wrist.
