Rolex 126283rbr-0021 Datejust 36mm Stainless Steel Yellow Gold Diamond Jubilee Slate Roman Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126283RBR-0021: The Masterpiece of Slate and Diamonds

The Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126283RBR-0021 represents the zenith of the Datejust lineage, where professional horological engineering meets the high-jewelry artistry of Rolex’s private gem-setting atelier. This specific reference is a study in sophisticated power, combining the industrial strength of 904L Oystersteel with the regal warmth of 18ct yellow gold. By framing the world-renowned “Wimbledon” aesthetic with a brilliant-cut diamond bezel, Rolex has created a timepiece that is as much a statement of success as it is a precision instrument.

The Iconic Slate “Wimbledon” Dial

The defining characteristic of the 126283RBR-0021 is its captivating slate dial, a configuration affectionately known as the “Wimbledon” dial. This design serves as a prestigious tribute to the grass courts of London, featuring a deep grey sunray finish that creates a dynamic play of light, shifting from charcoal to a bright metallic sheen with every movement of the wrist.

What sets this specific dial apart are the Roman numeral markers, which are uniquely outlined in a vibrant forest green. This subtle infusion of fire provides a luxurious focal point, perfectly balanced by a single luminescent baton at 9 o’clock and polished 18ct yellow gold hands.

The Gem-Set Bezel: A Circle of Radiant Fire

The “RBR” designation in the reference number signifies the presence of the diamond-set bezel, the most exclusive bezel option offered by Rolex. Moving beyond the traditional fluted design, this bezel features a seamless ring of hand-selected, brilliant-cut diamonds. Rolex’s in-house gem-setters act as master sculptors, meticulously carving the 18ct yellow gold to create the perfect seat for each stone.

Every diamond is perfectly aligned and secured to maximize light reflection, framing the slate 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-0021 stands out in any setting.

Yellow Rolesor and the Jubilee Bracelet

The 126283RBR-0021 is a flagship example of Yellow Rolesor—the storied meeting of Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold. To complement the decorative nature of the diamond-set bezel, the 126283RBR-0021 is fitted with the legendary Jubilee bracelet.

Consisting of five-piece solid links, the Jubilee is world-renowned for its flexibility and “silk-like” feel on the wrist. The central links are meticulously polished 18ct yellow gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel. The bracelet is secured by a Folding Oysterclasp and includes the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit instantly without the use of tools.

Mechanical Supremacy: Calibre 3235

Beneath the surface 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.
