About this watch

Among collectors, the yellow gold Datejust 116243 with diamond bezel represents the intersection of precious metal luxury and contemporary refinement that defines Rolex's modern era. This 36mm Rolesor configuration pairs the warmth of 18k yellow gold with Oystersteel construction, creating the distinctive two-tone aesthetic that has anchored the Datejust collection since 1945. The champagne Roman numeral dial provides classical elegance against the fire of 52 brilliant-cut diamonds, while the five-piece link Jubilee bracelet completes this reference's sophisticated presence on the wrist.
