Rolex Datejust 36 - Ref. 116234

Heritage & Design

Introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust remains one of the brand’s most established collections. The Ref. 116234 features Rolex’s White Rolesor configuration, combining stainless steel with 18ct white gold. Its blue diamond-set dial and traditional 36mm proportions represent a classic interpretation of the Datejust, particularly sought after in unworn condition.

Case & Details

This Datejust features a 36mm Oystersteel case with an 18ct white gold fluted bezel. Its blue dial features ten applied diamond hour markers and a date display at 3 o’clock, enhanced by Rolex’s Cyclops magnifier. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the stainless steel Jubilee bracelet completes the design. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.

Movement & Provenance

Powered by the Rolex calibre 3135 automatic movement, offering an approximately 48-hour power reserve. Presented in exceptional New Old Stock condition, this example has never been worn and is offered as a full set, circa 2015. Finding a Datejust of this generation in unworn condition is increasingly uncommon and particularly appealing to collectors. For complete peace of mind, this timepiece is accompanied by our 24 month J. Farren Price warranty.

Vintage watches
Condition is assessed in the context of the watch's age. Natural patina and period-appropriate ageing may be present and do not necessarily detract from its grade.

Condition grades relate to cosmetic presentation. Originality, replacement parts, service history and accessories are described separately where known. Please refer to the individual product description and photographs for further details.
