Rolex 126283rbr-0017 Datejust 36mm Stainless Steel Yellow Gold Diamond Jubilee Silver Roman Diamond Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126283RBR-0017: The Luminous Radiance of Silver and Diamonds

The Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126283RBR-0017 is an extraordinary fusion of classic horological design and high-jewelry craftsmanship. This specific configuration is a masterclass in tonal elegance, pairing the industrial strength of Oystersteel with the regal warmth of 18ct yellow gold. By surrounding a sophisticated sunray silver dial with a bezel of hand-set diamonds, Rolex has created a timepiece that serves as both a high-precision chronometer and a radiant piece of fine jewelry.

The Sunray Silver Dial with 18ct Yellow Gold Roman Numerals

The most defining characteristic of this 126283RBR-0017 configuration is its captivating silver dial. Featuring a meticulous sunray finish, the dial is created using masterful brushing techniques that etch microscopic grooves radiating from the center. This allows the surface to capture and diffuse light, creating a dynamic metallic glow that shifts in intensity as the wearer moves their wrist.

The display is adorned with applied Roman numeral hour markers, crafted entirely from solid 18ct yellow gold. By using precious metal for the numerals and hands, Rolex ensures they will never tarnish, maintaining their warm luster for a lifetime. To elevate the luxury of this “RBR” reference, the Roman VI and IX markers are meticulously set with 24 brilliant-cut diamonds. This subtle infusion of light provides a luxurious focal point, perfectly balanced by the classic Roman aesthetic and 18ct yellow gold hands.

The Gem-Set Bezel: A Masterpiece of Light

The “RBR” designation in the reference number signifies the presence of the diamond-set bezel, the most exclusive bezel option offered by Rolex. Rolex’s in-house gem-setters act as master sculptors, meticulously carving the 18ct yellow gold to create the perfect seat for each stone. Unlike the traditional fluted design, the RBR bezel offers a seamless circle of fire.

Every diamond is perfectly aligned and secured to maximize light reflection, framing the silver dial with a “circle of fire.” This brilliance significantly increases the watch’s visual presence, reflecting ambient light with an intensity that only natural diamonds of exceptional quality can provide, ensuring the 126283RBR-0017 stands out in any setting.

Yellow Rolesor and the Jubilee Bracelet

This reference is a premier example of Yellow Rolesor—the marriage of 904L Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold. To complement the decorative nature of the diamond-set bezel, the 126283RBR-0017 is fitted with the legendary Jubilee bracelet.

Characterized by its flexible five-piece link construction, the Jubilee is world-renowned for its “silk-like” feel on the wrist. The central links are meticulously polished 18ct yellow gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel. It features the Folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit instantly without tools for a perfect experience in any climate.

Mechanical Supremacy: Calibre 3235

Beneath the silver dial lies the Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement at the pinnacle of watchmaking technology. As a Superlative Chronometer, it is certified to an incredible precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. Key technical features include:

• 70-Hour Power Reserve: Providing “weekend-proof” autonomy; you can take the watch off on Friday and find it still ticking on Monday morning.
• 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%.
