·Hello! I have a question. Is it normal for my watch to have a yellow "date (calendar)" while the dial is white? Is it possible that he turned yellow because of the time? The watch is from 1986.
Yellow calendar disk in time?

·I think you've nailed it. I'd guess that it's just patina as it has aged.

·I am no expert but It looks like the dial has been changed in the past. If the watch is from 1986 it should probably have the T SWISS MADE T dial.

·I saw it for sale and only with Swiss Made, it had to be with T? You mean the dial isn't original?

·Here I found another one for sale, identical to mine, writes only Swiss Made. So is the dial original or not?

From a quick google search all the 1986 datejust seem to have the T markings. I don’t know when Rolex stopped using tritium on their dials.

That watch seems to have been extensively restored so a dial swap is not out of the question either.
Sorry I can’t be of more help, I am just giving my 2 cents.
