Rolex Datejust 36 Black Sunbeam Roman Dial Rose Two Tone 116231
The Rolex Datejust 36 (Ref. 116231) artfully combines the enduring sophistication of Oystersteel with the warm elegance of 18 kt Everose gold—Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy—to create a two‑tone aesthetic that's both contemporary and timeless. The 36 mm case houses a sleek black sunray (sunburst) dial accented by rose gold‑tone Roman numerals and hands, offering a dramatic yet refined contrast. Framed by a fluted Everose gold bezel and topped with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, the watch features the hallmark Cyclops‑magnified date at 3 o’clock and is powered by Rolex’s reliable Calibre 3135, complete with a quick-set function, automatic winding, and approximately a 50‑hour power reserve. It’s secured by a Jubilee bracelet crafted in matching two-tone steel and Everose gold with a concealed Crownclasp, offering both comfort and an elegant finish—making this model a striking blend of luxury, functionality, and Rolex heritage.

About Rolex:
Rolex was founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, before moving to Geneva in 1919 to be closer to the heart of Swiss watchmaking. From the start, Wilsdorf envisioned a wristwatch that was not only elegant, but also precise and reliable—an ambitious goal at a time when pocket watches dominated. Rolex went on to pioneer key innovations in horology, including the first officially certified chronometer wristwatch, the Oyster case (the world’s first waterproof wristwatch), and the Perpetual rotor—the self-winding mechanism that became the standard for modern automatic watches. These technical breakthroughs laid the foundation for Rolex’s enduring reputation for rugged luxury and mechanical excellence.
Today, Rolex is arguably the most recognized name in watches, with models like the Submariner, Daytona, Datejust, and GMT-Master becoming cultural icons in their own right. Whether tied to deep-sea exploration, motorsport, aviation, or mountain summits, each model reflects the brand’s commitment to performance and precision under extreme conditions. The brand’s status is bolstered by its unmatched consistency in design, rigorous in-house testing, and long-standing associations with exploration, sport, and achievement. For collectors and enthusiasts, Rolex represents more than a timepiece—it’s a benchmark of mechanical reliability, timeless design, and global prestige.
