About this watch

First introduced as part of Rolex's comprehensive 2005 Datejust refresh, the reference 116244 established itself as the quintessential diamond-bezel iteration within the 36mm white gold case lineup. This particular example showcases the striking contrast between its lustrous white gold construction and the mesmerizing black sunbeam dial, where Roman numerals catch and reflect light with each subtle movement of the wrist. The 52 precisely-set diamonds adorning the fluted bezel represent Rolex's mastery in gemstone setting, transforming the classic sports-elegant aesthetic into something unmistakably luxurious. Powered by the caliber 3135 movement and presented in unworn condition, this Rolex Datejust 116244 exemplifies the seamless marriage of precious materials and horological excellence.
