Rolex Datejust 36mm Silver Index Jubilee 126234 2024 [Preowned]
Overview
The Rolex Datejust 36 reference 126234 is the definitive modern expression of the watch that redefined the luxury timepiece in 1945. As the first self-winding chronometer to feature an automatically changing date, the Datejust established the blueprint for the classic wristwatch. This current-generation reference, introduced in 2019, honors that legacy by maintaining the historically perfect 36mm proportions—a size widely regarded by purists as the most balanced and versatile in the Rolex catalog.
While the Datejust is available in a kaleidoscope of colors, this specific configuration features the Silver Sunray dial. This tonal, monochromatic choice offers an "executive" elegance that is both understated and timeless. The fine sunburst finish creates a dynamic play of light, allowing the dial to shift between a bright, metallic white and a deeper brushed steel hue. This luminous backdrop is punctuated by applied 18k white gold index markers, providing a clean, architectural look that is more contemporary than traditional Roman numerals. Framing the dial is the signature fluted bezel, crafted from radiant 18k white gold, which serves as the hallmark of Rolex’s "White Rolesor" aesthetic.
The watch is presented on the legendary Jubilee bracelet, the supple five-piece link design originally created specifically for the Datejust’s debut. Known for its jewelry-like shimmer and exceptional comfort, the Jubilee is equipped with the modern Oysterclasp and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing for tool-free adjustment to ensure a perfect fit throughout the day. The Oystersteel construction ensures the watch is nearly impervious to corrosion, while the Twinlock screw-down crown guarantees a robust 100-meter water resistance.
Technically, the 126234 represents the pinnacle of Rolex engineering, powered by the in-house Calibre 3235. This new-generation movement features the high-efficiency Chronergy escapement, offering superior resistance to shocks and magnetism. Most notably, the power reserve has been increased to a substantial 70 hours, providing "weekend-proof" autonomy—meaning the watch can be set aside on Friday evening and remain ticking accurately on Monday morning. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, this Silver Datejust remains the gold standard for those who demand a timepiece that is as historically significant as it is technically flawless.
