Housed in a 36 mm Oystersteel case built around a monobloc middle case with a screw-down case back and screw-down Twinlock winding crown, this Datejust delivers water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date sits above the pink mother-of-pearl dial, whose diamond hour markers are secured in 18 kt gold settings. The bezel itself is set with diamonds, adding a continuous ring of brilliance around the dial.
The three-piece solid-link Oystersteel Oyster bracelet fastens via a folding Oysterclasp equipped with an Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link. Power comes from Rolex Calibre 3235, a perpetual, mechanical, self-winding movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve, a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. Precision is rated at -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, and the watch carries Superlative Chronometer certification reflecting both COSC testing and Rolex's own post-casing standards.
Reference 116244-0018 brings together the enduring proportions of the classic 36 mm Datejust case with the luminous quality of pink mother-of-pearl and the added dimension of diamond detailing on both the dial and bezel.
