More than a watch, the Rolex Datejust 36 is a landmark in horological history. Conceived in 1945, it was the first self-winding, waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock. Today, it remains the quintessential expression of classic style and technical achievement, perfectly balanced for any occasion.

Crafted from the finest 904L Oystersteel, 18kt gold, or an elegant combination of both, the Datejust’s iconic 36mm case is a masterpiece of form and function. Its signature fluted bezel, meticulously crafted to catch the light, is more than mere decoration; it was originally designed to screw down the case back for enhanced waterproofness—a testament to Rolex’s innovative spirit.

Protecting the crystal and completing the distinguished profile is the elegant Jubilee bracelet. Specifically created for the Datejust, its five-piece links provide unparalleled comfort and a supple, shimmering presence on the wrist.

Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the quintessential black dial offers impeccable clarity. Adorned with luminous Chromalight displays and the classic Cyclops eye at 3 o’clock that magnifies the date, it is a paragon of legibility. This is a dial that speaks of understated confidence and refined taste.

At its heart beats the Caliber 3235, a superlative chronometer movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. A marvel of precision, power reserve, and magnetic resistance, this movement is the soul of a watch built not just to tell time, but to endure as a legacy.

The Rolex Datejust is not merely purchased; it is earned and cherished. It is the watch for a lifetime of achievements.
