About the Rolex Datejust 126334

The Rolex Datejust 126334 is a Datejust 41 in Oystersteel with an 18k white gold fluted bezel, and it is the single most popular Datejust reference on the pre-owned market. At WatchGuys, we carry pre-owned and unworn examples across the full range of dial and bracelet configurations. The 126334 features a 41mm case, a white gold fluted bezel that adds a touch of precious metal without the visual weight of a two-tone design, and is powered by the Caliber 3235 movement with a 70-hour power reserve. Introduced in 2017 as a current-production reference, it replaced the previous-generation 116334. Within the broader Rolex Datejust collection, the 126334 delivers the iconic fluted bezel look in what reads as a predominantly steel watch, making it one of the most versatile Rolex watches available.

Rolex Datejust 126334 Dial and Bracelet Options

The 126334 offers the widest dial selection of any current Datejust 41 reference. Standard sunburst options include bright blue, bright black, silver, white, and slate, all available with stick index hour markers. Roman numeral dials are offered in slate (the Rolex Wimbledon configuration), Azzurro blue, and white. Diamond hour marker variants are available with blue, black, and dark rhodium dials. As of 2022, Rolex also introduced fluted motif dials in blue and slate that mirror the texture of the bezel. The newer mint green dial is one of the most sought-after recent additions. Every dial can be paired with either the Jubilee bracelet (five-link, dressier) or the Oyster bracelet (three-link, sportier), both in Oystersteel. The Jubilee with a fluted bezel remains the most popular combination on the secondary market.

Rolex Datejust 126334 Price

Pre-owned Rolex Datejust 126334 prices generally range from $11,000 to $19,500 depending on the dial, bracelet type, condition, and completeness. Blue and Wimbledon dials on Jubilee bracelets typically trade at the higher end. Diamond dials and the newer mint green and fluted motif options also command premiums. The 126334 has appreciated approximately 24% over the past five years, outperforming both the broader Rolex market and the Datejust collection average. It sells faster than 75% of watches on the secondary market, indicating strong liquidity. For buyers comparing to two-tone Rolex Datejust options, the 126334 sits at a lower price point than the Rolex Datejust 126333 in Yellow Rolesor or the Rolex Datejust 126331 in Everose Rolesor due to its lower gold content.

Rolex Datejust 126334 vs. 126333

The Rolex Datejust 126333 is the Yellow Rolesor (two-tone) counterpart to the 126334. Both are Datejust 41 models with identical 41mm cases, Caliber 3235 movements, fluted bezels, and the choice of Jubilee or Oyster bracelets. The key difference is material. The 126334 uses Oystersteel for the case and bracelet with only the fluted bezel in 18k white gold, giving it a predominantly steel appearance. The 126333 combines Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold across the case, bezel, bracelet center links, and crown, creating a visible two-tone look. The 126334 appeals to buyers who want the fluted bezel's visual impact without the overt gold presence, while the 126333 is for those who want a classic two-tone Datejust. Dial options differ to suit each configuration. For a steel Datejust 41 with a smooth bezel at a lower price point, the ref. 126300 is also worth considering.

• What Is the Difference Between the Rolex 126334 and 126333?

  Both the 126334 and 126333 are Datejust 41 models with identical case dimensions, Caliber 3235 movements, and the choice of Jubilee or Oyster bracelets. The difference is material. The 126334 uses Oystersteel for the case and bracelet with only the fluted bezel in 18k white gold, resulting in a predominantly steel appearance. The 126333 is Yellow Rolesor, combining Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold across the case, bezel, bracelet center links, and crown for a classic two-tone look. The 126334 typically trades at a lower price because it contains less gold. Dial options differ between the two to complement each material configuration.

• Should I Choose a Jubilee or Oyster Bracelet on the Rolex 126334?

  The Jubilee bracelet is a five-link design with a dressier, more refined feel that was created specifically for the Datejust when it launched in 1945. The Oyster bracelet is a three-link sport design with a more casual, utilitarian profile. On the 126334, both bracelets are constructed entirely in Oystersteel. The Jubilee paired with the white gold fluted bezel is the most popular configuration and generally holds higher resale value. The Oyster offers a sportier aesthetic and appeals to buyers who want the fluted bezel look with a more tool-watch feel. Neither bracelet affects the watch's movement, water resistance, or case construction.
