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

Within Rolex's sixth-generation Datejust evolution, the reference 116243 emerged as a defining expression of two-tone craftsmanship, pairing 904L Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold in the brand's proprietary Rolesor construction. This 36mm configuration showcases a factory-set diamond bezel containing 52 brilliant-cut stones, each precisely calibrated to Rolex's exacting gemological standards. The silver diamond dial creates a sophisticated interplay of light, with ten diamond hour markers complementing the bezel's radiance. Introduced as part of the 2005 case architecture update, the 116243 represents the pinnacle of precious metal Datejust design before the collection's subsequent evolution.
