Rolex Datejust 36 'Black Dial “Roulette Date” Jubilee' – Reference 116234 (March 2018) ST

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Datejust reference 116234 represents a modern 36 mm execution of Rolex’s most enduring classic, combining timeless proportions with practical everyday functionality. As part of the Datejust lineage, the 116234 maintains the signature Oyster case architecture while offering a more elevated appearance through its white gold fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet configuration.

This example, first sold in March 2018, is presented in mint condition and offered as a full set. The watch features a black dial with luminous hour markers, providing a clean and highly legible layout. A standout detail is the “Roulette Date” display, where alternating dates appear in red and black, adding a subtle vintage-inspired touch while remaining fully within Rolex’s modern Datejust design language.

Powering the watch is Rolex’s calibre 3135, a self-winding Perpetual mechanical movement known for long-term reliability and robust daily performance. The movement includes quickset date functionality for ease of use.

The 36 mm stainless steel Oyster case is fitted with a fluted 18kt white gold bezel, delivering the classic Datejust profile with added refinement. The Jubilee bracelet completes the traditional configuration and is fitted with a concealed Crownclasp, creating a seamless and elegant bracelet appearance on the wrist.

Presented with a European Rolex warranty card (LC110 – France) and including the Rolex white hang tag, this Datejust 116234 offers a desirable modern classic configuration with collector-friendly details.
