Taking the formal white Roman dial onto the Oyster bracelet produces easily the most contradictory version of the Datejust 126203 there is. The dial belongs in a boardroom and the bracelet was designed for just about everything outside of one. Rolex offered the pairing without ever pushing it, and comparatively few examples appear to have been built. The result works rather better than it should, largely because the applied numerals keep the whole arrangement firmly anchored.

A domed Yellow Gold bezel sits above a Stainless Steel case measuring 36 mm across the middle. The white dial holds applied Roman numerals, and the date at three sits beneath a Cyclops lens. Baton hands run over the plain ground with no printed track enclosing the outer edge. Three-piece solid links build the Oyster bracelet with Yellow Gold at the center, closing on a folding Oysterclasp with a comfort extension.
