Rolex 116238 Datejust 36 18K YG Super Jubilee Black Anniversary Dial RARE

This Rolex Datejust ref. 116238 is a consummate expression of the brand’s modern horological refinement, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and offered in production from approximately 2004 to 2018. It houses the venerable in‑house Calibre 3135 automatic movement, a COSC‑certified workhorse renowned for its 48‑hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and quickset date functionality. The case retains the classic 36 mm diameter with a robust “super case” profile, including broader lugs that deliver a commanding wrist presence. The black “anniversary” dial, distinguished by its Roman numeral hour markers, adds a touch of celebratory elegance to the design. Paired with the rare “super jubilee” bracelet—an increasingly sought‑after configuration among collectors—this reference stands out for its blend of opulence and everyday wearability. With 100 m water resistance, sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens, and a fluted bezel, the 116238 embodies Rolex’s commitment to enduring quality and refined aesthetics. As one of the last solid‑gold Datejust models before the transition to newer calibers, this watch holds both technical significance and collector appeal, especially in this particular dial and bracelet combination. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2005.
