About this watch
Rolex Steel and Yellow Gold Rolesor Datejust 36 Watch - 52 Diamond Bezel - Black Diamond Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 116243 bkdo
Within the Datejust's storied evolution, the 116243 reference marked a defining chapter when Rolex introduced the iconic Rolesor construction combining Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold in the mid-2000s. This 36mm iteration showcases the brand's mastery of contrast through its deep black diamond dial, where ten brilliant-cut diamond hour markers create striking luminous points against the obsidian surface. The Rolex Datejust 116243's factory-set 52-diamond bezel transforms the classic fluted aesthetic into a cascade of light, while the robust Oyster bracelet maintains the collection's tool watch DNA. Each element represents decades of refinement within the Datejust lineage, culminating in this sophisticated expression of Rolex's dual-metal philosophy.
