Illustrative render — hero view of the Rolex Datejust 36 (Everose Rolesor, chocolate dial)

Rolex · Datejust 36 · Everose Rolesor · pre-owned on Amazon

The Datejust in steel and rose gold, chocolate dial.

Rolex calls the mix Everose Rolesor: a steel case and outer links, with the fluted bezel, the crown and the centre links in its own 18k Everose gold. The chocolate sunray dial is the one Rolex photographs this combination in, brown in the shade and copper under a lamp, with rose gold batons and hands. 36mm, on the Oyster bracelet. The listing gives no reference; it is the 116231 or the current 126231, and the copy below says how to tell. Pre-owned through a Luxury Stores reseller, graded Very Good.

Everose, and why the chocolate dial

Everose is Rolex’s own pink gold alloy, introduced in 2005 with a little platinum in the mix so the colour does not fade to yellow as older rose golds did. On the Datejust 36 it goes on the parts that show: the fluted bezel, the crown and the centre links of the bracelet, with steel for the case and the outer links. Rolex calls the combination Everose Rolesor.

The chocolate dial arrived with it and has been the signature pairing since: a sunray brown that reads copper in daylight and near-black indoors, with batons and hands in the same rose gold as the bezel. It is warmer than a black dial and less obvious than a champagne one.

Which reference this is

Rebag does not give a reference. Two Datejust 36 references look like this: the 116231, made from 2005 to 2018 with the calibre 3135 and about 48 hours of reserve, and the 126231, made from 2018 with the calibre 3235, about 70 hours, and a slightly slimmer case. Both have the engraved rehaut the photograph shows. The clasp is the quickest tell: the 126231’s Oysterclasp has a longer, more sculpted cover. Ask the seller for the reference or the warranty card before buying; the price is much the same either way, but the movement is not.

The condition line says Very Good with minor scratches and wear to the case and bracelet, which is a worn watch rather than a polished one. Every figure here comes from the listing and from Rolex’s published description of the Datejust 36, not from handling the watch.

Buying it pre-owned on Amazon

Rolex is pre-owned only on Amazon. This unit is sold by Rebag through Amazon Luxury Stores, authenticated by the seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window on top; it is one piece, and when it sells the listing goes away, so the second button opens the live search for Everose Datejusts.

Two-tone Datejusts have resold close to what people paid for them for a long time, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
