About the Rolex Wimbledon Datejust
The Datejust is one of Rolex's most enduring and iconic collections, introduced in 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a magnified window at 3 o'clock, a feature now synonymous with the line. The Wimbledon dial name, while not an official Rolex catalogue designation, has become the universally accepted trade term for the slate roman numeral dial variant, evoking the green-and-grey color palette associated with the All England Club. Reference 126334 represents the current-generation 41mm Datejust in oyster steel, and when paired with a fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet it delivers the full expression of Rolex's formal aesthetic. The combination of the slate Wimbledon dial with the five-link Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel is widely regarded as the quintessential configuration for collectors who want a dress watch with genuine horological pedigree.
What to Look For
When shopping Wimbledon Datejust references, bracelet and bezel choice meaningfully shape both the look and the resale value: the Jubilee bracelet with a fluted bezel, as seen on ref. 126334, commands strong collector interest and is considered the classic pairing for the slate roman dial. Unworn or near-mint examples from recent production years, particularly 2025 inventory, carry a premium over pre-owned examples and are especially attractive to buyers who want factory-fresh condition with full box and papers.
