About this watch

When the brown floral dial of this yellow gold Datejust 36mm catches ambient light, its intricate botanical motif creates depth that transforms with every wrist movement. The 52-diamond bezel amplifies this theatrical interplay, casting prismatic reflections across the warm Arabic numerals that define the 116243 reference. Rolex's signature Rolesor construction pairs steel's structural integrity with yellow gold's unmistakable presence, delivering a 36mm profile that commands attention without overwhelming the wrist. This unworn example represents the intersection of horological precision and decorative artistry, where each floral element has been meticulously applied to create a dial surface that reads like illuminated manuscript pages.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Brown Floral Dial Configuration — Hand-applied botanical motifs create textural depth beneath Arabic hour markers, with each floral element positioned to complement the Datejust's iconic 3 o'clock date window
  • 52-Diamond Bezel Setting — Brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 52 stones provide continuous sparkle around the yellow gold bezel, each stone individually set and aligned for maximum light return
  • Rolesor Construction — Rolex's proprietary steel and yellow gold combination delivers the durability of Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold highlights on the bezel, crown, and center bracelet links
  • 36mm Case Proportions — Classic Datejust sizing that accommodates both masculine and feminine wrist preferences, featuring the Oyster case's water resistance to 100 meters
  • Oyster Bracelet Integration — Three-link construction with yellow gold center links and steel outer links, secured by the Oysterclasp with Easylink 5mm comfort extension
  • Caliber 3135 Movement — COSC-certified chronometer with 48-hour power reserve, featuring Rolex's instantaneous date change and Quickset date adjustment capability
  • Reference 116243 Heritage — Part of the sixth-generation Datejust family produced from 2005-2016, representing the final iteration before the introduction of the current 36mm generation
