Rolex Datejust 36mm Steel and White Gold 126234G BLUE DIAMOND OYSTER

The Rolex Datejust 36mm in steel and white gold presents a refined aesthetic that balances classic proportions with contemporary materials. This reference 126234G features a 36mm Oyster case constructed from Oystersteel, with a fluted bezel machined from 18k white gold, a signature element that provides a distinguished visual texture and light reflection. The sunray-finished blue dial is configured with diamond hour markers, offering a clean and highly legible display. The case is fitted with a smooth domed bezel and a screw-down Twinlock crown, ensuring 100 meters of water resistance. It is mounted on a three-piece link Oyster bracelet, also crafted from Oystersteel, which is known for its durability and comfortable fit, secured by a folding Oysterclasp with the Easylink 5mm comfort extension link.

At the core of this watch is the Caliber 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely manufactured by Rolex. This movement is a technically advanced mechanism, featuring a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a high-efficiency Chronergy escapement, which collectively contribute to its exceptional resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, as well as its power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The movement’s performance is exemplary, surpassing the stringent criteria for Rolex’s own certification as a Superlative Chronometer, guaranteeing an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day. The single complication is the eponymous date function at 3 o’clock, which features a Cyclops lens over the date aperture for magnification and an instantaneous date change at midnight.

This specific timepiece is in mint condition, showing only the most minor signs of careful handling, with the case, bezel, and bracelet remaining in outstanding state. It is accompanied by its official Rolex warranty card, confirming its authenticity and providing the date of its original sale. The Datejust has a consistent and strong market position due to its iconic status and versatile 36mm case size, which appeals to a wide range of collectors. Its configuration, combining Oystersteel, white gold, and a diamond dial, is a particularly sought-after combination, making it a sound acquisition that holds its value well within the robust pre-owned luxury watch market.
