Rolex Datejust 36 Datejust 36 Stainless Steel - Everose - Diamond / Chocolate - Diamond / Jubilee

The Rolex Datejust 36 126281RBR-0041 debuted in 2026 as a gem-set Everose Rolesor configuration of the Datejust collection, combining the 36 mm Oyster case with a chocolate dial set with diamonds, a diamond-set bezel, and a Jubilee bracelet. In this reference, the established Datejust architecture remains intact, but the addition of gemstones to both the dial and bezel gives the watch a more overtly jewelled profile than the non-set versions in the same family. Its Oyster case measures 36 mm in diameter and follows the familiar construction of the Datejust line, with a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock screw-down winding crown. The case is executed in Everose Rolesor, Rolex’s combination of Oystersteel and Everose gold, and is fitted with a diamond-set bezel in place of the domed or fluted alternatives used elsewhere in the range. This changes the visual emphasis immediately, shifting attention toward the perimeter of the dial while preserving the underlying Oyster case format. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal incorporates the Cyclops lens over the date, and water resistance is rated to 100 metres. The dial is executed in chocolate with a sunray finish and set with diamonds in 18 ct gold settings. The radial brushing creates shifting reflections across the surface, and the warm brown tone works closely with the Everose elements in the case and bracelet. In this reference, the diamond-set hour markers are complemented by the gem-set bezel, giving the watch a more decorative and formal presence than the simpler Datejust 36 variants while retaining the familiar display of hours, minutes, seconds, and the date at 3 o’clock. Inside is Rolex calibre 3235, a self-winding manufacture movement with centre hours, minutes, and seconds, instantaneous date with rapid setting, stop-seconds for precise time setting, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers. As in other Datejust references using this calibre, the movement combines the collection’s everyday date function with Rolex’s current automatic architecture. The watch is fitted with a Jubilee bracelet in Everose Rolesor, with five-piece links, a folding Oysterclasp, and the Easylink comfort extension system allowing approximately 5 mm of adjustment. In this configuration, the Jubilee bracelet reinforces the Datejust’s most recognisable and traditional bracelet style, while the gem-set bezel and chocolate diamond dial move the watch further into a more embellished register. The result is a Datejust 36 that retains the proportions and display layout of the classic model, but presents them in a richer and more jewellery-oriented form.
