Datejust 36 Appraisal

Rolex Datejust 36 Two-Tone Watch

This item is a Rolex Datejust 36 wristwatch, presented in what appears to be its original or period-appropriate presentation box. The watch features a classic two-tone design, combining stainless steel and yellow gold. The watch case is stainless steel, and the fluted bezel is crafted from yellow gold, a signature characteristic of many Rolex Datejust models. The bracelet is a Jubilee-style, also in a two-tone configuration with polished gold center links flanked by brushed stainless steel outer links. The dial is champagne or gold-toned, complementing the yellow gold elements, and features applied baton hour markers, with what appear to be diamond hour markers at most positions, adding to its luxurious aesthetic. A cyclops lens is prominently positioned over the date window at the 3 o'clock position, a hallmark of the Datejust line. The hands are gold-toned baton style. The watch appears to be in good, well-maintained condition with visible signs of regular wear, such as minor surface scratches on the metal components, consistent with its likely age. The presentation box is a dark green color with a cream-colored silk or satin interior lining on the lid, featuring 'Création Genève' and the 'ROLEX' logo with the crown emblem prominently displayed in gold lettering. The watch is nestled in a green velvet-like insert within the box. Based on the styling, particularly the dial markers and two-tone Jubilee bracelet, this watch likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly the 1980s or 1990s. The overall craftsmanship is indicative of Rolex's high standards.
