A used Datejust 41 in Oystersteel with an 18 ct white gold fluted bezel, bright blue index dial, and Oyster bracelet — no box or papers.
The Rolex Datejust 41 ref. 126334-0002 is a 41 mm Oystersteel watch with a bright blue sunburst dial, applied index hour markers, an 18 ct white gold fluted bezel, and the three-link Oyster bracelet. The 126334 generation entered production in 2016 as the direct successor to the 116334, bringing Rolex's Calibre 3235 movement and a revised case and bracelet architecture. This example is offered used, without box or papers.
The transition from 116334 to 126334 was substantive rather than cosmetic. The case received a more refined lug profile and improved bracelet integration, while the overall proportions tightened around the 41 mm diameter. The defining visual signature of this reference — a solid white gold fluted bezel on a full-steel case — has defined the steel Datejust for generations, distinguishing it cleanly from smooth-bezel variants. The -0002 configuration pairs that bezel with the bright blue index dial and Oyster bracelet, a combination that reads as formal but wears broadly across contexts.
The 126334 runs Rolex's Calibre 3235, a meaningful step forward from the long-running 3135. The movement features a Chronergy escapement — a nickel-phosphorus lever and escape wheel offering approximately 15 percent greater energy efficiency than a conventional Swiss lever — along with Paraflex shock absorbers. Rolex certifies it in-house as a Superlative Chronometer to a standard of ±2 seconds per day after casing, tighter than COSC alone. Power reserve is rated at approximately 70 hours, roughly double the earlier calibre's reserve.
The bright blue dial carries the characteristic sunburst lacquer finish that shifts between deep navy in shadow and vivid cerulean under direct light. Applied polished steel index markers and a printed minute track ring the perimeter. The Oyster bracelet — three-link, with a folding Oysterclasp and Easylink comfort extension link — gives this configuration a slightly sportier hand than the Jubilee option available on other Datejust 41 variants. Both elements show the expected signs of a pre-owned piece; condition should be confirmed against current listing photographs.
This example comes without original Rolex box or papers. For a reference that has been in continuous production since 2016 with readily available service support, the absence of documents is primarily a pricing and provenance consideration rather than a practical impediment. There is no branded accessory set, and no warranty card to transfer. On the secondary market, no-box-no-papers examples of the 126334 trade at a consistent discount relative to full-set pieces, and that differential is factored into the price of this watch. Buyers who require independent authentication or a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified watchmaker should arrange that before completing any transaction.
The steel Datejust 41 with fluted white gold bezel and blue dial occupies a stable, well-understood position in the secondary market. The reference benefits from sustained catalog presence, broad recognizability, and the practical upgrade the 3235 calibre brought to the lineup — factors that collectively support consistent resale liquidity. The 126334-0002 is one of the cleaner configurations in the current Datejust 41 range.
