Rolex 126201-0015 Datejust 36mm Stainless Steel Everose Gold Jubilee White Roman Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0015: The Classic Contrast of White and Everose Gold

The Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0015 is a masterclass in clean, traditional horology, offering a crisp, high-contrast aesthetic that remains perpetually in style. This specific configuration elevates the classic Datejust by pairing the industrial strength of Oystersteel with the romantic, patented glow of 18ct Everose gold. It is a timepiece designed for the individual who appreciates clear legibility and a sophisticated, timeless look.

The Pristine White Lacquered Dial with Roman Numerals

The defining characteristic of the 126201-0015 is its white dial, which features a deep, opaque lacquered finish. This effect is achieved through a meticulous process where six thin layers of lacquer are applied to a brass base, followed by a clear varnish that is polished to a high sheen. The result is a smooth, brilliant white surface that provides the highest possible contrast for the hour markers.

In this configuration, the dial is adorned with classic Roman numeral hour markers, crafted from 18ct Everose gold to prevent tarnishing and ensure a permanent, warm luster. This traditional display provides an elegant alternative to modern baton markers. For functional legibility in low light, the hands are filled with Chromalight, Rolex’s proprietary luminescent material, emitting a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

Everose Rolesor and the Smooth Domed Bezel

This reference is a premier example of Everose Rolesor—the meeting of 904L Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold. Rolex’s proprietary pink gold alloy includes a touch of platinum to ensure the unique hue remains eternal and never fades. Setting this reference apart is the smooth domed bezel. While a fluted bezel speaks of formal tradition, the polished domed bezel provides a sleek, contemporary profile, giving the 126201-0015 a “sport-chic” aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from a business suit to casual weekend attire.

The Jubilee Bracelet: Peerless Comfort

Reference 126201-0015 is fitted with the legendary Jubilee bracelet. Originally designed specifically for the launch of the Datejust in 1945, this five-piece link bracelet is celebrated for its flexibility and “silk-like” feel on the wrist. The central links are crafted in polished 18ct Everose gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel. It is equipped with the Folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit instantly for maximum comfort in any climate.

Mechanical Supremacy: Calibre 3235

Behind the elegant white dial beats the Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement at the pinnacle of watchmaking technology. It is a certified Superlative Chronometer, providing a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. Key technical benefits include:

• 70-Hour Power Reserve: Providing “weekend-proof” autonomy, allowing the watch to be unworn over a weekend without losing time.
• Chronergy Escapement: Made of nickel-phosphorus, offering high energy efficiency and resistance to magnetic fields.
• Paraflex Shock Absorbers: Enhancing the movement’s resistance to shocks by up to 50%.
