Rolex Datejust 41 126301SVFMSJ: Everose Rolesor Specs, Price and Buying Guide

The Rolex Datejust 41 126301SVFMSJ is the steel-and-Everose-gold Datejust with a smooth, domed Everose bezel, a silver dial with the fluted motif pattern and a two-tone Jubilee bracelet. It is a 41 mm Oyster case with a date window and Cyclops at 3, powered by Rolex's calibre 3235, and it sits between the all-steel Datejust 41 126300 and the fluted-bezel Everose 126331. This guide covers the specifications, what the smooth bezel and fluted-motif dial change, how the 126301 compares with its siblings, how it wears, price context in 2026 and what to check before buying. Bizak & Co. sources the 126301SVFMSJ to order; the Datejust collection lists the configurations we can seek.

What is Everose gold, and how does it differ from yellow gold?

Everose is Rolex's proprietary 18 ct pink gold, an alloy that includes platinum to help the colour stay stable instead of fading toward yellow or turning brown over time. On a two-tone Datejust, Rolex calls the combination Everose Rolesor: Oystersteel for the case middle and the outer bracelet links, Everose gold for the bezel, the crown and the centre links of the bracelet. Against yellow gold, the colour is softer and more pink, which many buyers find easier to wear with a steel Jubilee and a silver dial. It is still a precious metal, so it can scratch, particularly on the bezel and the crown, and it deserves a close look on a watch that is sold as new.

Smooth bezel and fluted motif dial: what changes?

The classic Datejust has a fluted bezel with a ridged edge. The 126301 uses a smooth, domed bezel instead, which gives the watch a cleaner, more modern outline and a slightly more casual look. The silver dial with the fluted motif pattern borrows the ridged pattern from the traditional bezel and sets it radially across the dial, so the fluting you lose on the bezel reappears on the dial face. With index hour markers rather than Roman numerals, the watch reads quietly and formally at the same time. If you want the traditional ridged look, the 126331 is the fluted-bezel Everose watch; if you want a quieter, cleaner alternative without gold, the 126300 is the all-steel Datejust 41.

126301 vs 126331 vs 126300: which Datejust 41?

The movement is the same across all three, so the decision is about metal, bezel and how much gold you want to wear. Our guides to the Datejust 41 126331 and the Datejust 41 126300 cover each in detail.

How does the Datejust 41 wear?

At 41 mm the Datejust is one of the larger Rolex dress cases, but its flat bezel and slim dial let it sit comfortably on most wrists from about 16 cm (6.3 inches) upward. A Jubilee bracelet is more flexible than an Oyster bracelet and drapes smoothly, which is part of why this combination is a popular first two-tone Rolex. The two-tone metal adds warmth to a steel watch without the weight of a full gold case. If your wrist is narrow, try the 36 mm Datejust or the 41 mm on a rubber or leather strap before you decide; the proportions change the character of the dial.

How much is a Rolex Datejust 41 126301SVFMSJ in 2026?

• Retail. Rolex's US list price for steel-and-Everose Datejust 41 models is in the five-figure range in 2026, and the current figure for each reference is on the Rolex product pages linked above. Rolex Datejust models are generally easier to obtain at an authorised dealer than the sports models, though specific dials can take longer.
• Secondary market. We have generally seen brand-new, full-set Datejust 41 watches asked at or somewhat above retail, and pre-owned two-tone examples below it. We do not quote a median because it varies by dial and year.
• Bizak catalogue ask. On October 1, 2026 our sourced catalogue listed this reference at US$18,413, brand new with box and papers, sourced to order.

Those figures describe what we saw and will move. Ask for a dated quote for the exact dial, and read our Rolex price guide to compare quotes.

Is the 126301SVFMSJ a good watch to own?

It is a watch to wear rather than to flip. The Datejust has been Rolex's core model since 1945, and the 3235 is a modern, robust movement with a long power reserve. A new, full-set two-tone Datejust will not appreciate quickly, but it should hold its value better than most dress watches at a similar price, and it works across business and casual wear. Buy it if you like the Everose and silver combination; if you want a traditional look, compare it with the fluted 126331 before deciding.

Buying a Datejust 41: what to check

• Warranty card and papers. Rolex's five-year warranty starts on the date on the card. Check that the card serial and the rehaut engraving match, and that the reference on the card reads 126301.
• Bezel and crown. The smooth Everose bezel should be even and free of scratches; gold shows contact marks. Check the crown for marks too.
• Dial. The fluted motif pattern should be crisp and even, and the date window and Cyclops should be clean.
• Bracelet and clasp. Check every link and the clasp for handling marks; two-tone bracelets show wear on the gold centre links first.
• Date function. The date should change at midnight and quickset cleanly in both directions.
• Condition claim. If it is described as brand new, there should be no wear anywhere and the protective stickers or tags should be present.
• Price against the band. A full-set watch offered well below the market is the most reliable warning sign.
