For sale is a Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 116243 with a Factory Blue Vignette Diamond Dial and Diamond Bezel.
This watch is sold complete with original Rolex Box, papers and manual.
The Material: The Datejust 116243 is crafted from a combination of 316L stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. This two-tone design is often referred to as Rolesor by Rolex and offers the best of both worlds: the robustness of steel and the warmth and elegance of gold.
The Dial: The blue vignette dial is a stunning visual masterpiece that features a gradient effect, where the rich blue hue darkens at the edges and gradually lightens towards the center. This smooth transition creates a sense of depth and sophistication, giving the dial a dynamic yet understated elegance. The blue color is complemented by the sparkle of diamond hour markers, which add an extra layer of luxury and refinement. The combination of the vignette effect and the diamonds results in a dial that is both visually captivating and timeless, perfect for those seeking a distinctive yet versatile design.
The Bezel: The 116243 is distinguished from other Datejust models by the factory-set diamond bezel. The bezel is crafted from 18k yellow gold and features high-quality, brilliant-cut diamonds, with each diamond precisely set in close proximity creating a seamless string of diamonds surrounding the dial. Rolex is known for its stringent standards when it comes to the quality of diamonds used, prioritizing clarity and brilliance.
The Bracelet: This example features the iconic Jubilee bracelet with the updated solid-links and concealed clasp mechanism, a symbol of the brand’s commitment to both style and practicality.
The concealed clasp enhances the overall elegance of the Datejust by eliminating any visible clasp or buckle, creating a cleaner, more sophisticated profile. This design makes the Jubilee bracelet especially popular for formal or dressy occasions.
The Movement: The Datejust 116243 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135 movement, a self-winding mechanical movement that has been used by rolex for over 20 years due to its reliability.
Date Function: The Datejust 116243 has a date window at the 3 o'clock position, which is magnified by Rolex's signature Cyclops lens attached to the sapphire crystal. The date changes automatically at midnight, powered by the movement's quickset date function.
