Rolex Datejust, 36mm, Two-Tone Chocolate Floral Dial, Calibre 3135 Automatic, 116231
The Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 116231 combines one of Rolex's most enduring designs with a particularly distinctive Chocolate Floral dial. Crafted in stainless steel and 18K Everose gold, the classic 36mm proportions are complemented by an Everose gold fluted bezel and the warm tones of the floral-patterned dial.
The Chocolate Floral dial is one of the more unusual configurations produced for this generation of Datejust, featuring an intricate floral motif with diamond-set Arabic numerals at 6 and 9 o'clock. Paired with the two-tone bracelet and Everose gold detailing, it gives the traditional Datejust a character quite different from the more familiar baton and Roman numeral.
Powering the watch is the proven Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, one of Rolex's longest-serving movements and a defining calibre of this Datejust generation. It provides approximately 48 hours of power reserve, automatic winding and a quick-set date displayed beneath the signature Cyclops lens. Specifications
