Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Datejust has been a cornerstone of the brand since its launch in 1945, combining timeless design with everyday practicality. The reference 116234, produced from the mid-2000s until the late 2010s, represents one of the most refined modern versions of the 36 mm Datejust. Distinguished by its fluted bezel in 18k white gold, paired with an Oystersteel case and bracelet, it balances subtle luxury with durability.
This April 2018 example, reference 116234, features a 36 mm case, black dial with luminous markers, sapphire crystal, and steel Oyster bracelet. Powered by the Rolex calibre 3135, it offers chronometer-certified precision, a 48-hour power reserve, and the practicality of the quickset date. Presented in mint condition and accompanied by its full set of box and papers, this Datejust is a sharp and versatile modern classic.
