The Rolex 126334 is the Datejust 41 in Oystersteel with a fluted white gold bezel, which Rolex calls white Rolesor. It has been in production since 2016, runs caliber 3235, and is the reference behind the Wimbledon, mint green and blue Datejust 41s that fill most search results. This guide covers the dial and bracelet options, what a 126334 costs new and used in 2026, how it differs from the smooth-bezel 126300, and what to check before buying one.

Rolex 126334 dial options
The reference number never changes with the dial; the dial code on the warranty card does. These are the dials Rolex has offered on the 126334, with the collector names you will meet:
- Slate with green Roman numerals, the "Wimbledon". The most requested 126334 dial and the one that carries the largest used premium.
- Blue sunburst, with stick or Roman markers, and blue with diamond markers. The classic configuration on Jubilee.
- Mint green (2022) and green fluted-motif (2024).
- Blue fluted-motif (2024), a dial whose pattern echoes the bezel.
- Silver, white, black, slate index and chocolate, plus mother-of-pearl and diamond-set variants.
Our nicknames guide explains the collector names; the Wimbledon is a dial, not a separate reference, and it also exists on the 126300 and the two-tone 126333.
How much does a Rolex 126334 cost in 2026?
Retail. Rolex's US list price for the 126334 sat in the low US$11,000s in 2026 for standard dials on Jubilee, after increases in January 2025 and again in 2026. Diamond dials add several thousand dollars. Check the exact model page for today's figure and region.
Used. Clean, full-set 126334s have generally traded from just under retail for silver, white and black dials to a clear premium over retail for the Wimbledon, mint green and blue-diamond dials on Jubilee. In 2025 and 2026 that put most steel 126334s in a band of roughly US$10,000 to 14,000, with recent-year Wimbledons at the top. Watches without a warranty card, or with polished cases, sit below the band.
Two things move the price more than anything else: the dial and the year on the card. A 2024 Wimbledon on Jubilee with card and box is a different watch, in price terms, from a 2017 silver dial on Oyster with no papers.

126334 vs 126300: fluted or smooth?
| 126334 | 126300 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bezel | Fluted white gold | Smooth Oystersteel |
| Look | Dressier, catches light, the "classic Datejust" silhouette | Plainer, closer to an Oyster Perpetual with a date |
| Retail gap | About US$2,000 to 2,500 above the 126300 | Base price of the steel Datejust 41 |
| Used demand | Higher; the Wimbledon is mostly bought on the 126334 | Lower premium, easier to find at or below retail |
| Everything else | Identical: case, caliber 3235, dial options, bracelets, water resistance | |
If you cannot decide, try both on the wrist: the fluted bezel makes the watch read slightly larger and brighter. Our 126300 guide covers the smooth-bezel watch in the same detail.
Jubilee or Oyster on the 126334?
Rolex sells the 126334 on both. The Jubilee is the traditional Datejust pairing and the more requested bracelet with the fluted bezel; it is also slightly more comfortable on smaller wrists because the links are shorter. The Oyster is sportier and easier to keep clean. Neither is worth more second-hand on its own, but the Wimbledon and blue dials are most often bought on Jubilee, so a Jubilee example of those dials sells faster. Both use the same Oysterclasp with Easylink.
How does the Rolex 126334 wear on the wrist?
The 41 mm case and roughly 47.5 mm lug-to-lug put the 126334 a size up from the 36 mm Datejust, close to the footprint of a Submariner without the extra height. The fluted white gold bezel is thin and does not add meaningful weight over the smooth-bezel 126300; the difference on the wrist is visual, not physical. Twinlock crown and Oyster case construction keep the profile flat, so the watch sits close under a cuff despite the wide dial. Wrists from about 15 cm (6 inches) wear the 41 mm comfortably; smaller wrists that want the fluted-bezel look in a trimmer size should compare the 36 mm 126234. On the Jubilee bracelet the shorter links let it sit slightly closer than the Oyster, which some buyers prefer on a dressier watch.
What year is the Rolex 126334?
2016 to the present. Rolex introduced the 1263xx Datejust 41 at Baselworld 2016 with caliber 3235, replacing the 1163xx Datejust II, which was thicker, had caliber 3136 and a larger bezel. Any 126334 is therefore a 2016 or later watch; the exact year is on the warranty card and can be estimated from the card format and the serial style. There have been no generational changes since, only new dials.
Is the Rolex 126334 a good investment?
It is a watch that is easy to resell, not an investment. Popular 126334 dials have traded at or above retail for most of the last five years, which is unusual for a non-Professional Rolex, but they fell with the rest of the market in 2022 and 2023 and a dealer's buying price is always below its selling price. Buy the dial you want to wear; the Wimbledon and mint green protect value best, the diamond dials least.
Buying a used 126334: what to check
- Warranty card and dial code. The reference and the dial code on the card (for example 126334-0022 on Rolex's site, or the letters after 126334 on the card) must describe the watch. A Wimbledon dial in a watch whose card says silver is a dial swap.
- Fluted bezel. Look at the flutes under raking light. Polishing rounds the ridges and dulls the white gold; original flutes are crisp.
- Bracelet. Count the links, check the Easylink clicks cleanly, look for stretch on early Jubilees.
- Service. A 2016 to 2018 watch is approaching its first service; ask whether it has had one.
- Price against the band. A Wimbledon well under the market is the most common fake or franken listing.

2016 to the present. It replaced the 116334 Datejust II and is still in production with caliber 3235.

Is the Rolex 126334 a good investment?
It holds value well and resells easily, but it is not an appreciating asset. Prices fell in 2022 and 2023 and the dealer spread applies.
What is the difference between the 126334 and 126300?
