Rolex DATEJUST 36 OYSTER, 36 mm, white gold and OYSTER steel

Pitted bezel

The Rolex triangle pattern is a characteristic feature of the brand's watches. Initially, the OYSTER bezel's triangular pitches served a practical purpose, helping to secure the bezel to the case by screwing it down and ensuring that the watch was waterproof. The same was true of the pitched caseback, which was screwed into place with a special Rolex tool. Later, the triangular pitched pattern evolved into an aesthetic design element that has become an iconic feature of Rolex. Today, it is a characteristic feature of the brand's watches, and this Datejust 36 has a bezel made of gold.

Mint green dial

Many of the OYSTER models feature a sunray effect that reflects the lightness of the watch. This effect requires a sophisticated brushing technique that creates engravings that extend from the center of the watch face outwards. The light is dispersed along the markings, creating a subtle yet distinctive effect that reveals itself in different shades as the wrist moves. Once the sunray effect is completed, the watch is then colored by physical vapor deposition or electroplating, and finally finished with an oil lacquer.

White Gold Steel

Gold is a beautiful, noble and fascinating color. Steel is strong and trustworthy. They blend harmoniously with each other, combining their characteristics in an ingenious way. Gold and steel were the hallmark features of Rolex watches from the early 1930s until 1933, when the trademark name was officially registered. It is also one of the distinctive features of the OYSTER collection.
