Rolex Steel and Yellow Gold Rolesor Datejust 36 Watch - 52 Diamond Bezel - Champagne Diamond Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 116243 chdo

Champagne diamond-set dials paired with yellow gold create one of the most harmonious precious metal combinations in the Rolex Datejust lineup, and this 36mm Rolesor example showcases that synergy beautifully. The reference 116243 represents the final generation of this configuration before Rolex transitioned to the newer 126000 series, featuring the robust 3135 automatic movement and the brand's signature two-tone Rolesor construction. Fifty-two diamonds frame the dial within the yellow gold fluted bezel, while additional diamond hour markers catch light against the warm champagne backdrop. This unworn example arrives on the classic three-link Oyster bracelet, offering the sportier alternative to the more formal Jubilee option typically associated with precious metal Datejust models.
