The Rolex Datejust 36 126234 combines the timeless proportions of the Datejust collection with Rolex’s White Rolesor construction and modern mechanical technology.

Reference 126234 combines Oystersteel with white gold in Rolex’s White Rolesor configuration. Rolex offers this reference in multiple dial and bracelet configurations, allowing buyers to choose a version that suits their preferred style.
36mm White Rolesor Oyster Case
The Rolex Datejust 36 is built around a 36mm Oyster case, offering a balanced and traditional wrist presence. Reference 126234 uses White Rolesor, Rolex’s combination of Oystersteel and white gold. The Oyster case incorporates a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back and screw-down winding crown.
The 36mm size makes the Rolex Datejust 126234 a versatile option for buyers who prefer classic watch proportions rather than larger contemporary cases. The combination of Oystersteel and white gold also gives the watch a clean, sophisticated appearance.
Signature Fluted White-Gold Bezel
The fluted bezel is one of the defining features of the Rolex Datejust 36 126234. Rolex uses white gold for the fluted bezel, creating a distinctive contrast with the Oystersteel case and adding depth to the overall design.
The precise fluting catches the light as the watch moves, giving the bezel an elegant appearance without making the design overly complicated. Together with the 36mm case, it creates the classic Datejust look that has remained recognizable for generations.
Sapphire Crystal and Cyclops Date Lens
The Rolex Datejust 126234 is equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and Rolex’s Cyclops lens positioned over the date window. The magnification makes the date easier to read while also serving as one of the most recognizable details of the Datejust design.
The date function is designed for everyday practicality. Rolex specifies instantaneous date changing with rapid setting, while the stop-seconds function allows precise time setting.
This combination of sapphire protection and practical date functionality makes the 126234 well suited to regular wear.
Rolex Calibre 3235 Automatic Movement
At the heart of the Rolex Datejust 36 126234 is Rolex calibre 3235, a Perpetual mechanical self-winding movement manufactured by Rolex. The movement provides central hours, minutes and seconds together with the date function.
Calibre 3235 uses bidirectional automatic winding through its Perpetual rotor and offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Rolex also specifies a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex high-performance shock absorbers within the movement.
For watch enthusiasts, this movement adds an important technical dimension to the 126234, combining traditional mechanical watchmaking with modern Rolex engineering.
100 Metres of Water Resistance
The Rolex Datejust 126234 is waterproof to 100 metres (330 feet). Its Oyster architecture uses a screw-down case back and winding crown, while the Twinlock double waterproofness system helps secure the winding crown.This level of water resistance makes the Datejust suitable for normal everyday situations where exposure to water may occur. As with any mechanical luxury watch, appropriate care and regular servicing remain important for maintaining performance.
Jubilee and Oyster Bracelet Configurations
The Rolex Datejust 36 126234 is available with different bracelet configurations. Rolex lists the reference with both the five-piece-link Jubilee bracelet and three-piece Oyster bracelet, depending on the specific configuration.
The Jubilee bracelet provides a more intricate and traditional Datejust appearance, while the Oyster bracelet offers a cleaner and more understated look. The exact bracelet should therefore be matched to the specific 126234 configuration being offered.For customers specifically searching for a Rolex Datejust 36 126234 Jubilee bracelet, the Jubilee configuration remains one of the most recognizable combinations of this reference.
Superlative Chronometer Certification
The Rolex Datejust 36 126234 is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. Rolex describes this as official chronometer certification combined with Rolex’s own certification after casing.Rolex specifies precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing for calibre 3235.

The certification gives the 126234 another important advantage beyond its visual design, particularly for buyers who value precision in a mechanical watch.
