Rolex Datejust 41 "Wimbledon" buying guide: 126334 references and what to pay

# Rolex Datejust 41 "Wimbledon" buying guide

The Datejust 41 with the slate green Roman-numeral dial — universally known as the "Wimbledon" — is the most requested Datejust reference of the last five years. It was launched in 2019 alongside the redesigned Datejust 41 line, and demand has outstripped supply almost from day one. If you are shopping pre-owned, here is what actually matters.

## The references

- **126334** — steel and white gold (smooth fluted bezel). The core Wimbledon. - **126333** — steel and yellow gold (two-tone). - **126331** — steel and Everose (two-tone rose gold). - **126301** — full Everose gold, smooth bezel, rarer.

All share the same 41mm case, calibre 3235 movement, and the slate grey dial with green Roman numerals that gives the watch its nickname (Rolex has been the official timekeeper of Wimbledon since 1978).

## Jubilee vs Oyster

The Wimbledon dial is offered on both the Jubilee and Oyster bracelets. This matters more than most buyers expect:

- **Jubilee** — dressier, more comfortable, holds its price slightly better in the current market. The bracelet most associated with the Wimbledon look. - **Oyster** — sportier, sits flatter on the wrist, easier to pair with a rubber strap for casual wear.

If you are undecided, the Jubilee is the "correct" answer for the reference, but a large wrist often carries the Oyster better.

## What to pay in 2026

UK pre-owned pricing has stabilised after the 2022 peak. As a rough guide (unworn, full set, current market):

- **126334 Jubilee**: £11,500 – £13,000 - **126334 Oyster**: £11,000 – £12,500 - **126333 two-tone Jubilee**: £13,500 – £15,000 - **126331 Everose Jubilee**: £14,500 – £16,000

Expect a 5–10% discount for a well-loved example with box and papers, and a 15–20% discount for no papers.

## What to check before you buy

1. **Dial condition** — the green Romans should be crisp, not faded. UV exposure over years can dull them. 2. **Bracelet stretch** — Jubilees stretch faster than Oysters. Check for play between links. 3. **Serial and card** — post-2019 warranty cards should match the case number exactly. 4. **Service history** — the 3235 calibre is robust but any watch over four years old should have a service record or budget for one.

## Why it holds value

The combination of a genuinely wearable 41mm size, the fluted white gold bezel, and a dial that is neither loud nor boring makes the Wimbledon one of the most versatile Rolex references in production. It is the watch buyers come back for when they realise they only really want one Rolex.
