Description
A true looker for anyone in the room; Featuring the Rolex DateJust 36 Two-Tone Yellow Gold Diamond Dial Ref. 126233!
Its Jubilee dial features diamonds in 18 ct gold settings. The light reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the elegant profile of the 36 mm Oyster case, which is fitted with a fluted bezel. Aesthetically, the Datejust has spanned eras, while retaining the enduring codes that make it, notably in its traditional versions, one of the most recognized and recognizable of watches.
Rolex released the Rolex Datejust watch in 1945 to celebrate the company’s 40th-anniversary jubilee celebration (the term, “jubilee” literally means “a special anniversary of an event”). Along with the innovative date window on the dial, the watch also came with a brand-new style of Rolex bracelet after the oyster bracelet.
And to emphasize the big ‘four-zero’ occasion, Rolex named the new bracelet the Jubilee after the celebration itself. Fast-forward to 1985, and Rolex took a similar route by releasing the Jubilee dial to celebrate the Datejust collection’s 40th anniversary. This is, of course, also Rolex SA’s 80th anniversary.
The Rolex Jubilee dial, also known as the anniversary dial, features a repetitive ‘ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX’ pattern engraved on its entire surface. This is similar to the type of all-over pattern that can be seen on something like a monogrammed Louis Vuitton bag. Remember, this was the 1980s – the decade of decadence and flaunting one’s wealth, and logo mania was all the rage across the luxury goods industry.
