The reference 126331-0002 is Rolex's current-generation Datejust 41, introduced as part of the comprehensive Datejust lineup refresh Rolex began rolling out in 2016. The case measures 41mm across in Everose Rolesor — Rolex's proprietary combination of Oystersteel and 18k Everose gold alloy — placing the piece clearly between an all-steel reference and a fully precious-metal one. This example presents in like-new condition with no box or papers included.
The 126331 series succeeded the 116331 and arrived with meaningful mechanical and aesthetic upgrades across the board. The movement is the Calibre 3235, one of Rolex's most capable current-generation ebauches, delivering a 72-hour power reserve, Chronergy escapement, and Paraflex shock absorbers — a substantial step forward from the 48-hour reserve of the outgoing 3135. The case architecture was refined in parallel, with updated lug geometry that improves wrist presence relative to the older generation. On the secondary market, Everose Rolesor configurations carry a clear premium over comparable all-steel references, reflecting the precious-metal content of the bezel and mid-links, while sitting well below full Everose references in price. The fluted-bezel, rose Rolesor 126331 is the most visually expressive configuration in the reference family — consistently the choice for buyers who want material richness alongside genuine daily wearability.
The -0002 designation identifies the chocolate dial with applied index hour markers — no Roman numerals, no diamonds. It is one of the warmer options in the Datejust 41 catalog, and the pairing of rich brown lacquer with Everose rose gold is a natural one the secondary market has recognized; this dial variant sees stronger sustained demand than many of the cooler-toned alternatives across the 126331 family. Applied indices sit polished against the satin dial surface, providing depth and legibility without flash. The fluted 18k Everose gold bezel is a Datejust hallmark stretching back decades and serves as the primary visual anchor for the rose gold content — the element that separates the 126331 from the smooth-bezel 126301 in the same Rolesor pairing. The bracelet is the five-link Jubilee in Oystersteel and Everose gold, fitted with the Oysterclasp and Rolex's Easylink 5mm comfort extension — a practical feature allowing the bracelet to expand without tools for temperature or activity changes, and one that consistently gets undervalued in listings until the buyer wears it through a full season.
This piece arrives without its original box or papers. In the current secondary market for late-generation Datejust references, no-box-no-papers examples are commonplace and the absence has no bearing on the watch's mechanical function or serviceability. Authentication via a qualified independent watchmaker or appraiser remains best practice for any pre-owned Rolex transaction at this tier. My Watch Dealer is an independent reseller and carries no affiliation with Rolex SA or its authorized dealer network. Buyers are well-served by cross-referencing current ask prices on major pre-owned platforms for like-new, no-papers 126331-0002 examples before proceeding. The Calibre 3235 is designed for a service interval of approximately ten years under normal use, and a like-new example should sit comfortably within that window.
The 126331-0002 is an active current-production reference, a fact that supports long-term parts and service availability and keeps secondary values relatively anchored compared to discontinued configurations in the broader Datejust family.
