This unworn Rolex Datejust 36 in reference 116243 showcases the brand's mastery of two-tone craftsmanship through its steel and yellow gold Rolesor construction, crowned with an exceptional 52 brilliant-cut diamond bezel. The pristine white index dial creates a striking contrast against the warm yellow gold case edges, while the classic Jubilee bracelet provides the quintessential Datejust wearing experience. As part of the final generation before the introduction of the newer 126000 series, this 116243 represents the culmination of decades of refinement in the 36mm Datejust format.
