Rolex Datejust 36 36 mm 126234GSJ-2 Steel/White Gold Green

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most enduring and recognizable watch designs in horological history, introduced in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock. Over nearly eight decades the Datejust has evolved in materials, dials, and proportions while retaining its instantly legible, classically proportioned silhouette. The 36mm case size remains the original and most historically authentic expression of the Datejust line, suiting a wide range of wrist sizes and wearing equally well in formal and casual contexts.

Reference 126234GSJ-2 represents a particularly desirable configuration within the current Datejust 36 generation. The case and bracelet are rendered in Oystersteel—Rolex's proprietary 904L stainless steel alloy, which is harder, more corrosion-resistant, and more brilliantly polishable than the 316L steel used by most of the watch industry. The crown and fluted bezel are fashioned from 18k white gold, introducing precious-metal warmth and prestige to what is otherwise a steel sports-capable case.

The olive green palm motif dial is the defining feature of this reference and the element that has driven collector enthusiasm for it since its introduction. The palm frond pattern is applied with careful attention to depth and texture, giving the dial a three-dimensional, almost botanical quality that shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions. The green family of dials has become one of the most sought-after in the Rolex catalogue, and the palm motif variant sits at the apex of that desirability curve among the 36mm models.

Powering the watch is a Rolex automatic movement, a self-winding mechanical caliber built to Rolex's proprietary standards of precision and reliability. Rolex movements are certified as Superlative Chronometers by Rolex's own standards, which exceed the COSC chronometer specification and guarantee accuracy to within plus or minus two seconds per day when measured on the wrist. The Oyster case provides water resistance to 100 metres (330 feet), meaning the watch is fully suitable for swimming and everyday exposure to water. The Jubilee bracelet—Rolex's most elegant five-link design, also introduced in 1945 alongside the original Datejust—completes the package with a supple, dressy character that complements the dial perfectly.
