Rolex showed ref. 126331 at the 2016 Baselworld launch of the Datejust 41. It pairs an Oystersteel case with Everose-gold components, including the fluted bezel. Rolex still lists it; the available sources do not date when production began or ended.

==Where it sits in the line==

126331 is the Everose Rolesor version of the 41 mm Datejust, with a fluted gold bezel. The number identifies the base reference; suffixes such as m126331-0003 and m126331-0004 identify specific catalogued configurations.

==Production outline==

Monochrome's April 2016 Baselworld report lists ref. 126331 among the Datejust 41 launch models. Time+Tide reviewed another 126331 in 2019, and Rolex still lists it in 2026. These records place the reference at launch, in 2019, and in the current catalogue; they give no factory production endpoint.

The reference appears in multiple dial and bracelet combinations. The table below records configurations identified in Rolex product documents. Suffixes such as m126331-0003 identify catalogued configurations under the same base reference.

==Movement notes==

Rolex specifies caliber 3235 in the current technical document, and Monochrome identified the same caliber at the 2016 launch. The automatic movement has a date display, stop-seconds, and an approximately 70-hour power reserve. Rolex's brochure also gives its post-casing Superlative Chronometer accuracy specification as −2/+2 seconds per day.

==Dial map==

Rolex product documents show chocolate, Sundust and slate dials in several bracelet and marker combinations. Current Rolex documents add mint green, bright black and white. The table records configurations directly identified by Rolex; it is a documented sample rather than a complete history of every dial offered.

==Case, bezel, crystal, and crown notes==

Rolex's current documentation specifies a 41 mm Oyster case in Oystersteel and Everose gold, a fluted Everose-gold bezel, screw-down caseback and winding crown with Twinlock, sapphire crystal and Cyclops lens, and 100 m water resistance.

==Bracelets, clasp, and packaging notes==

Rolex's product documents show the reference on both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets across the listed dial variants. The m126331-0003 Oyster brochure specifies an Oysterclasp and Easylink. The documents give no bracelet reference or end-link numbers and do not date the Oyster option's arrival. Record codes from the watch rather than infer them from the head reference.
