About this watch
This unworn Rolex Datejust reference 116243 showcases the brand's mastery of precious metal integration through its distinctive Rolesor construction, pairing stainless steel with 18k yellow gold in a classic 36mm case diameter. The white diamond dial creates a compelling contrast against the yellow gold elements, while the factory-set 52-diamond bezel elevates this particular example beyond the standard fluted bezel variants commonly seen in the Datejust lineup. As part of the modern Datejust generation introduced in the mid-2000s, the 116243 represents the evolution of Rolex's most enduring dress watch, combining traditional proportions with contemporary manufacturing refinements.
