Rolex Datejust 36 White Rolesor — Pink Wave Diamond Dial | Ref. 116244

White Rolesor—Rolex's proprietary combination of Oystersteel and 18ct white gold—gives Reference 116244 a restrained luxury that neither full steel nor full gold can replicate. The 52-diamond bezel here is among the more generous factory-fitted options for the 36mm Datejust, and the pink wave diamond dial with Arabic numerals at 6 and 9 o'clock creates a feminine yet contemporary character.

Inside sits Calibre 3235, Rolex's cornerstone self-winding movement featuring the Chronergy escapement—a nickel-phosphorus lever and escape wheel assembly that improves efficiency by 15% over its predecessor—along with a 70-hour power reserve and Paraflex shock absorbers. The Rolesor case construction places white gold on the bezel, crown, and mid-links of the bracelet, with Oystersteel forming the case body and outer bracelet links. The dial's wave-pattern diamond setting requires precise individual stone placement to maintain the flowing visual rhythm.

This configuration appeals to buyers who want a Datejust with genuine gemological substance but without committing to a full precious metal case. The Arabic numeral detail at 6 and 9 adds a subtle asymmetry that distinguishes it from standard index dials. On the pre-owned market, Rolesor Datejusts with diamond bezels and set dials represent good value relative to full gold equivalents, often attracting first-time luxury watch buyers stepping up from steel.
