Rolex Datejust 36 36 mm 126231WMDO Steel/Rose Gold White Mother of Pearl

The Rolex Datejust is the archetype of the classic dress watch — introduced in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock, it has remained in continuous production ever since and stands as one of the most recognized luxury timepieces on earth. The 36mm case size honors the original proportions of the Datejust, making reference 126231WMDO a faithful heir to decades of horological heritage while incorporating every modern refinement Rolex has developed.

The case of the 126231WMDO is crafted in Rolex's proprietary Oystersteel — a 904L stainless steel alloy chosen for its exceptional corrosion resistance and high-polish potential — contrasted against 18k Everose gold, Rolex's exclusive rose-gold alloy formulated to resist fading over time. The crown of the case is the iconic Oyster case architecture, hermetically sealed and rated to 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance, meaning this watch is as capable poolside as it is in a boardroom.

The dial is the centerpiece of this reference: white mother-of-pearl, a material prized for its organic iridescence and the way it shifts subtly under changing light. Diamond hour markers elevate it firmly into fine-jewelry territory, adding brilliance without sacrificing legibility. The 18k Everose gold fluted bezel frames the dial with a reeded texture that is one of Rolex's most storied design signatures, catching light with every movement of the wrist.

Powering the watch is an automatic movement, offering the effortless convenience of self-winding operation. The watch is worn on Rolex's Oyster bracelet, a three-link design celebrated for its robustness, comfort, and clean integration with the case — securing the watch securely on the wrist whether dressed up or down.
