Rolex added the steel-and-white-gold Datejust 41 ref. 126334 in 2017, one year after the revised 41 mm Datejust line appeared in gold and Rolesor. It pairs an Oystersteel case and bracelet with a fluted 18 ct white-gold bezel. The watch launched with Cal. 3235 and remains in Rolex’s catalogue; the company added a green lacquer ombré dial in 2026.

Rolex calls the steel-and-white-gold combination White Rolesor. In this reference the case and bracelet are Oystersteel; the fluted bezel is white gold. The current specification lists a 41 mm case, 100 m water resistance and Cal. 3235. [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex product specification]]

==Where it sits in the line==

The Datejust 41 arrived in 2016 with gold and two-tone versions. In 2017 Rolex added steel versions, including the 126334 with its white-gold fluted bezel. The related 126300 has a smooth steel bezel; the two references share the steel case and Cal. 3235 but differ in bezel material. Contemporary coverage describes the 2016 Datejust 41 as a redesign of the larger Datejust II, with slimmer case proportions and a narrower bezel. [[Source:src-monochrome-126334-2017|Monochrome’s 2017 comparison]] [[Source:src-hodinkee-126334-2017|Hodinkee’s 2017 report]]

The 126334 is therefore White Rolesor, though its bracelet is steel throughout. Calling the whole watch “two-tone” can suggest gold center links that this configuration does not have.

==Production outline==

Fratello and Hodinkee document the 126334 at its 2017 Baselworld launch; Rolex still lists it in 2026. That establishes a documented span, while factory production boundaries remain unverified. [[Source:src-fratello-126334-2017|Fratello’s 2017 launch report]] [[Source:src-hodinkee-126334-2017|Hodinkee’s 2017 report]] [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex’s current listing]]

Rolex introduced the reference with Cal. 3235. The 2019 review and present Rolex specification name the same caliber. Those records support continuity; they leave other production details unresolved. [[Source:src-monochrome-126334-2019|Monochrome, 2019]] [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex product specification]]

==Movement notes==

Cal. 3235 is the date-equipped automatic movement used in the Datejust 41. Rolex lists instantaneous date with rapid setting, stop-seconds, bidirectional winding, a Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers and about 70 hours of reserve. The 2017 release report already names Cal. 3235 for the 126334, and Rolex’s current listing retains it. The [[Reference:Movements|movement index]] covers the caliber’s broader lineage and technical details. [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex product specification]] [[Source:src-fratello-126334-2017|Fratello, 2017]]

==Dial map==

At launch, contemporary reports list black, grey, blue and white dials, with diamond-set indexes on some versions. Later records show blue Roman, blue diamond-index, grey Roman, and mint-green sunray examples. Phillips sold a circa-2023 mint-green sunray example in November 2025; this is distinct from the green lacquer ombré dial Rolex announced in 2026. Together, the launch report and later lot descriptions give dated examples, while first-use dates for individual dials remain undocumented.

Rolex announced a green lacquer ombré dial in 2026. The company says it applies green lacquer to the base and sprays black lacquer in concentric passes to form the gradient. This version is a dial option within 126334, not a separately numbered reference. [[Source:src-rolex-newsroom-126334-2026-ombre|Rolex Newsroom, 2026]]

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

The case measures 41 mm and uses a screw-down caseback and screw-down Twinlock crown. Rolex specifies a sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens and water resistance to 100 m. Its fluted bezel is white gold; this is the material distinction between 126334 and the smooth-bezel, all-steel 126300. [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex product specification]]

==Bracelets, clasps, and packaging==

Rolex offered the 126334 on Oyster and Jubilee bracelets from launch. Both are Oystersteel; the current Rolex specification describes the Oysterclasp and Easylink 5 mm extension. A 2017 Rolex Forums discussion identifies Jubilee 62610 and Oyster 72610 from warranty-card examples. That forum record is useful for the bracelet numbers, but it is not a Rolex parts catalogue and does not establish interchangeability with other references. [[Source:src-hodinkee-126334-2017|Hodinkee, 2017]] [[Source:src-rolex-126334-current-2026|Rolex product specification]] [[Source:src-rolexforums-126334-bracelet-2017|Rolex Forums discussion]]

Boxes, cards and hang tags belong to the individual sale set. The reviewed auction descriptions do not establish a standard reference-specific package.

==Special branches==

Sotheby’s calls one 2022-dated grey Roman-numeral 126334 “Wimbledon.” The evidence here treats it as a dial configuration within 126334; the listing does not date its introduction or establish Rolex’s use of the name. [[Source:src-sothebys-126334-wimbledon-2022|Sotheby’s Buy Now listing]]

==Dated market and auction records==

The Sotheby’s pages are Buy Now marketplace listings. Christie’s and Phillips provide auction records. Phillips reports the completed price for lot 918; the Christie’s page identifies a 2021 guarantee-card sale but gives no result here.
