The Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 16234 with a Sodalite dial and diamond indices represents a rare gem within the prestigious Datejust collection. This watch combines the iconic Rolex design with the exclusivity of precious materials, embodying timeless elegance. The vibrant Sodalite dial, featuring a unique deep tone, is further enhanced by diamond hour markers, adding refinement to an already extraordinary design.
Produced in 2000, this model is particularly rare due to the Sodalite dial, a natural material that is extremely fragile and difficult to work without imperfections. Rolex has discontinued watches with this type of dial, making each piece highly collectible. According to Chrono24, only seven complete examples with box and warranty exist worldwide, with just two from the same production year. Currently, only three pieces are available in Europe, further highlighting its exclusivity.
The watch has recently undergone a full service at Rolex, ensuring perfect functionality and preservation of its original beauty. Supplied with the original box and official warranty, this adds further authenticity and prestige to an already exceptional timepiece.
The Rolex Datejust 36 Sodalite is a rare masterpiece, combining impeccable craftsmanship, exclusive materials, and a fascinating history. The combination of the Sodalite dial, white gold bezel, and diamond indices makes this timepiece not only a symbol of style but also a long-term investment for discerning collectors.
