For sale is a Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 116243 with a Factory Tahitian Mother of Pearl 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 dial on this 116243 is made from a unique variety of mother-of-pearl sourced from the black-lipped oyster found in the lagoons of Tahiti. This iridescent material creates a dial that exhibits a wide range of colors depending on how light hits its surface, from shades of green to purple and blue, often with an almost 3D-like depth
The dial is further enhanced with 10 factory-set, brilliant cut, flawless diamond hour markers.
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.
