Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36mm 116243 (2010)

Q: Are Rolex watches a good investment?

Yes — Rolex watches consistently appreciate in value due to limited production, iconic design, and global collector demand. Every pre-owned Rolex from Watch Channel is carefully authenticated, ensuring you’re investing in a timepiece that holds both prestige and resale potential.

Q: How does Watch Channel verify Rolex authenticity?

Each Rolex undergoes a comprehensive inspection by our horology experts — covering serial numbers, movement calibration, crown etchings, and bracelet links. Only watches passing every authenticity checkpoint are listed for sale.

Q: Why are Rolex watches so expensive?

Rolex maintains exceptional standards in in-house manufacturing — from proprietary steel alloys to precision-tested movements. Even pre-owned models retain value because of their craftsmanship and unmatched brand reputation.

Q: How often should I service a Rolex?

Servicing every 5–7 years is recommended. Our team at Watch Channel can advise on model-specific maintenance schedules to preserve the watch’s accuracy and waterproofing.

Q: Can I swim with my Rolex?

Certain models like the Submariner or Sea-Dweller are designed for water exposure. However, water resistance can diminish over time, so it’s wise to test seals periodically, especially for vintage or pre-owned pieces.

Q: Why buy a pre-owned Rolex from Watch Channel?

We specialise in authentic, expertly inspected Rolex watches — combining certified quality with competitive pricing and transparent condition reporting, all backed by Watch Channel’s authenticity guarantee.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 Ref. 116243 is an elegant and luxurious interpretation of one of Rolex’s most enduring and iconic models.

Introduced as part of the six-digit Datejust generation, the Ref. 116243 features a 36 mm Oyster case crafted from Rolex’s proprietary combination of Oystersteel and 18ct yellow-gold. This particular configuration is especially desirable, featuring a stunning Mother-of-Pearl dial adorned with yellow-gold Roman numeral hour markers. The natural iridescence of the mother-of-pearl means that no two dials are identical, with each exhibiting unique colors and patterns depending on the light. Complementing the dial is a factory-set diamond bezel, adding an additional level of refinement and exclusivity while maintaining the unmistakable elegance of the Datejust design.
Powered by Rolex’s renowned Calibre 3135 automatic movement, the watch offers exceptional reliability, chronometer-certified accuracy, and robust everyday performance. Fitted to a steel and yellow gold Oyster bracelet, the Ref. 116243 remains equally suitable for formal occasions and daily wear.
Today, diamond-bezel Datejust references featuring mother-of-pearl dials are increasingly sought after, particularly examples retaining their original factory-set components.
