RolexDatejustModel No: 116234-SLVROM-G12B

Introduced in 2008, this reference 116234 injects a soupcon of modernity into the line without forgoing the elements that make Datejust 'the classic watch of reference'. It comes in a 36mm Oystersteel case that creates a pleasing presence on varied wrist sizes. It stays true to the original design with the inclusion of a white gold fluted bezel as well as a screw-down crown and caseback that aid the timepiece's water resistance capabilities. The dial gives a subtle facelift through a silver background and Roman numeral hour markers. The coronet logo and date aperture are still visible at their characteristic positions.

Regarding the mechanism, this Datejust 116234 uses the Rolex automatic calibre 3135. It powered most Rolex timepieces, including the Submariner and Yacht-Master, before the new calibre 3235 was introduced. Beating at 28,800bph with a 48-hour power reserve, this movement includes all classic features of a Rolex calibre and hence is a certified chronometer ensuring unfaltering reliability and precision.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
