Rolex DateJust 36 126231 36mm (2021)

The Rolex Datejust 126231 is a refined 36mm wristwatch that seamlessly combines traditional elegance with modern Rolex engineering. Constructed from Rolex’s proprietary Rolesor—a blend of durable Oystersteel and luxurious 18ct Everose gold—this model is both robust and sophisticated. The case features a polished finish and is topped with an 18ct Everose gold fluted bezel, a signature design element that enhances its classic appeal.

The white lacquer dial provides a crisp, clean backdrop, adorned with 18ct rose gold hour markers, offering an elegant contrast. The Jubilee bracelet, made of Oystersteel and Everose gold, is celebrated for its comfort and five-piece link design, adding to the watch’s graceful profile. At its heart is the Rolex Caliber 3235, a COSC-certified self-winding mechanical movement known for its precision, reliability, and 70-hour power reserve. It incorporates Rolex’s advanced Chronergy escapement, increasing energy efficiency and durability.

The Datejust 126231 offers 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance, aided by its screw-down crown and Twinlock double waterproofness system. The date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens, a practical and recognizable Rolex feature. With a case diameter of 36mm, a thickness of approximately 11.5mm, and a lug width of 20mm, this model maintains a balanced and timeless profile. The Rolex Datejust 126231 is currently part of the brand’s lineup and available through authorized dealers, though availability can vary due to high demand.
