About this watch

If you’re on the hunt for a watch that effortlessly combines luxury with functionality, the Rolex Datejust 36 116234-0090 might just be the answer. This iconic timepiece is not just a watch; it's a statement, a legacy, and a celebration of craftsmanship. Let’s dive deep into what makes this watch tick—quite literally! When we talk about luxury watches, Rolex is undoubtedly a name that resonates with many. The Datejust 36 family is one of the most recognizable lines from the brand, embodying a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The 116234-0090 model showcases all the classic elements that Rolex is celebrated for, making it a must-have for any serious watch collector. This model features a stunning stainless steel case with a fluted bezel, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The use of white gold not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures durability. The Oyster case design is a hallmark of Rolex, providing a robust structure that’s as functional as it is beautiful. The watch boasts a white dial adorned with striking Roman numerals. This classic choice of indexes not only enhances legibility but also adds a timeless charm to the overall aesthetic. The combination of metallic and matte finishes gives the watch a versatile look that can easily transition from formal to casual settings. The fluted bezel is not just a style statement; it reflects Rolex's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. It catches the light beautifully, creating an eye-catching effect that draws attention without being overly flashy. At the heart of the Datejust 36 is the Rolex caliber 3135. This self-winding mechanical movement is entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex—an assurance of quality and precision. With a 48-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement is as reliable as they come. What sets the caliber 3135 apart is its chronometer certification. This designation means that the watch has passed rigorous tests by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), ensuring it meets high-precision standards. So, you can rest easy knowing that your timekeeping is in capable hands. The addition of the Parachrom hairspring is a game-changer. This feature enhances the movement’s resistance to shocks and temperature variations, making it a perfect companion for both everyday wear and special occasions. With a diameter of 36.00 mm and a height of 12.00 mm, the Datejust 36 strikes the perfect balance between being substantial and comfortable on the wrist. The lug width of 20.00 mm allows for a variety of bracelet options, offering versatility for personal style. One of the many reasons people trust Rolex is their commitment to durability. The Datejust 36 boasts a water resistance of up to 100 meters. Whether you're splashing in the pool or caught in a rain shower, this watch is built to withstand the elements. The white Roman numeral indexes paired with stick hands create a striking contrast against the dial, ensuring readability at a glance. The simplicity of the design speaks volumes, allowing the watch to shine without being overdone. While the Roman numerals are a classic choice, you might wonder about visibility in low-light conditions. The hands are treated with luminescent material, allowing for decent visibility even when the lights go down. With a price tag of around $7,300, some might hesitate before making the investment. However, the Datejust 36 is more than just a watch; it’s an investment piece. Rolex watches tend to hold their value exceptionally well, and this model is no exception. Think of it this way: purchasing this watch is akin to buying a piece of art. It’s not just about the price tag but the value it brings over time, both in terms of aesthetic pleasure and potential resale value.
