Rolex Datejust 36 Stainless Steel - Everose - Fluted / Chocolate - Diamond / Oyster Ref. 126231-0054

The Rolex Datejust 36 126231-0054 debuted in 2026 as an Everose Rolesor configuration of the Datejust collection, combining the 36 mm Oyster case with a chocolate dial set with diamonds, a fluted bezel, and an Oyster bracelet. In this version, the familiar Datejust format is preserved, but the switch from Jubilee to Oyster changes the overall tone of the watch, giving it a firmer and slightly more direct profile while retaining the richer colour palette created by the Everose and chocolate combination. Its Oyster case measures 36 mm in diameter and follows the established architecture of the Datejust line, with a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock screw-down winding crown. The case is executed in Everose Rolesor, Rolex’s combination of Oystersteel and Everose gold, and is fitted with a fluted bezel in Everose gold. That bezel remains one of the defining visual elements of the Datejust, framing the dial more formally than a domed bezel would, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal incorporates the Cyclops lens over the date. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres. The dial is executed in chocolate with a sunray finish and set with diamonds in 18 ct gold settings. The radial brushing produces shifting reflections across the surface, while the darker brown tone works closely with the warmth of the Everose elements in the case and bracelet. In this reference, the diamond-set indexes add a more decorative note, but the display remains recognisably Datejust, with central hours, minutes, and seconds and the date aperture at 3 o’clock. Inside is Rolex calibre 3235, a self-winding manufacture movement with centre hours, minutes, and seconds, instantaneous date with rapid setting, stop-seconds for precise time setting, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers. As in other Datejust references using this calibre, the movement combines the collection’s everyday date function with Rolex’s current automatic architecture. The watch is fitted with an Oyster bracelet in Everose Rolesor, with three-piece solid links, a folding Oysterclasp, and the Easylink comfort extension system allowing approximately 5 mm of adjustment. In this configuration, the Oyster bracelet gives the watch a slightly more compact and straightforward visual rhythm than the Jubilee-bracelet version, while the fluted bezel and diamond-set dial preserve the more traditional and decorative side of the Datejust identity. The result is a Datejust 36 that balances colour, gem-setting, and classic Rolex elements with a bracelet choice that makes the watch feel a touch more grounded and direct.
