A family of two-unitary complex Hadamard matrices (CHMs) of size 36 stemming from a particular matrix is constructed. Every matrix in this orbit remains unitary after operations of partial transpose and reshuffling which makes it a distinguished subset of CHM. It provides a novel solution to the quantum version of the Euler problem, in which each field of the Graeco-Latin square of size six contains a symmetric superposition of all 36 officers with phases being multiples of sixth root of unity. This simplifies previously known solutions as all amplitudes of the superposition are equal and the set of phases consists of six elements only. Multidimensional parameterization allows for more flexibility in a potential experimental realization.
