Short on time? The 126334 is the Datejust 41 in white Rolesor: an Oystersteel case with an 18k white gold fluted bezel. It came out in 2017 with the calibre 3235 and about 70 hours of power reserve. We have two right now, both on Jubilee: one with the slate "Wimbledon" dial and one in black.
Backstory
The Datejust goes back to 1945. It was the first self-winding wristwatch with a chronometer certificate and a date in a window, and it debuted on a bracelet Rolex designed for it: the Jubilee. A few years later the Cyclops lens arrived to magnify the date. Eighty years on, that formula has barely changed, and that's the point.
For most of its life the Datejust was 36mm. The 41mm version came along in the 2010s, and the white Rolesor 126334 followed in 2017. It's the Datejust for people who like the idea but want something with a bit more presence.
Key Details
The case is 41mm Oystersteel with a Twinlock screw-down crown and 100 metres of water resistance. The bezel is 18k white gold, and the fluting catches the light in a way polished steel can't. That's the "white Rolesor" combination: steel and white gold together.
The two dials we have are very different watches. The Wimbledon is slate grey with green-outlined Roman numerals. Rolex has been the official timekeeper at Wimbledon for decades, and the green nods to the championship's colours. It's the more distinctive choice, and some people find the Roman numerals a little busy. The black sunray dial with baton markers is the opposite: quiet, sharp and almost impossible to get wrong.
The Movement
Calibre 3235, Rolex's current automatic for the Datejust 41. It has the Chronergy escapement, a blue Parachrom hairspring and about 70 hours of power reserve, so it'll survive a weekend off the wrist. It's certified as a Superlative Chronometer, to within -2/+2 seconds a day once cased.
On the Wrist
At 41mm the Datejust wears bigger than you'd expect because of the flat dial and the bezel. On the Jubilee it's comfortable and a bit dressy. The five-piece links move with your wrist and the polished centre links pick up the light. If you have a smaller wrist, the 36mm is worth trying first. If you've always found the 36 a touch small, this is the fix.
Final Thoughts
The 126334 is the Datejust done properly at modern size. Pick the Wimbledon if you want people to ask about it. Pick black if you want a watch that goes with absolutely everything.
We have both on Jubilee, 2026 full sets: the Wimbledon and the black dial.
