A masterpiece born from a rare collaboration between horology and high jewelry, this Rolex reference 3236 from 1971 is crafted in 18k yellow gold and designed by the legendary jeweler Georges Lenfant. Renowned for his exceptional work with houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Hermès, and Bulgari, Lenfant brought a level of artisanal sophistication that is seldom seen in Rolex's typically utilitarian lineup.

Produced in an extremely limited series of approximately ten pieces, this reference is a testament to Rolex’s occasional forays into haute joaillerie. The dramatic, sculptural design features intricate oval mesh links—meticulously crafted with alternating matte and polished wave-like textures that give the piece a dynamic, almost kinetic visual quality. The result is both a wearable sculpture and a timepiece of rare elegance.

Key features:
– 18k Yellow Gold Case and Bracelet Designed by Georges Lenfant
– Rare Collaborative Reference, with Approximately Ten Examples Known
– Matte and Polished Textured Oval Mesh Links
– Manual-Wind Rolex Movement | 1971 Production
– Elegant Transitional Design Suited for Both Day and Evening Wear

A true rarity in the world of vintage Rolex, this reference 3236 blends the brand’s heritage of precision with the expressive artistry of one of Paris’s most revered jewelry designers. It stands as a remarkable acquisition for the collector who appreciates both fine watchmaking and exceptional design history.
