The Datejust 41 reference 126331 is the Everose Rolesor version of the Datejust 41, combining an Oystersteel case with 18 ct Everose gold and a fluted 18 ct Everose gold bezel. It is a self-winding, waterproof, chronometer-certified watch built around the display the Datejust established in 1945: centre hours, minutes and seconds with an instantaneous date at 3 o’clock under a Cyclops lens.
The 41 mm Datejust was introduced at Baselworld 2016, replacing the 41 mm Datejust II and adopting the new-generation Calibre 3235. Reference 126331 launched as part of that lineup, sitting alongside the Yellow Rolesor 126333 and White Rolesor 126334 fluted-bezel references.
Within the collection it is a two-tone, regular-production model in the core Datejust line. Everose is Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy, and Rolesor is Rolex’s term for a watch that pairs steel with gold on the case and bracelet.

This reference carries a chocolate dial with a sunray finish, a deep brown tone produced by brushing grooves outward from the centre so the surface shifts as the wrist moves. The colour is applied over the finished sunray base and sealed with a light coat of varnish.
The hour markers are applied 18 ct gold baton indexes filled with Chromalight, Rolex’s luminescent material with a long-lasting blue emission. The hands are 18 ct gold in the standard Datejust baton style, also filled with Chromalight. A date aperture sits at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens on the crystal.
Printed dial text reads ROLEX with the crown at 12, then OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST beneath it, and SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED above 6 o’clock. A minute track runs around the outer edge of the dial.
The case is the 41 mm Oyster design in Everose Rolesor: an Oystersteel middle case with an 18 ct Everose gold bezel and winding crown. It uses the Oyster monobloc architecture, with a screw-down case back and screw-down winding crown that seal the movement inside.
The crown is the Twinlock system, screwing down against the case tube with a double waterproofness seal. The case back is solid and screwed down. The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire with a Cyclops lens over the date. Water resistance is 100 metres (330 feet).
The bezel is fluted, cut from solid 18 ct Everose gold. On this reference the fluting is decorative rather than functional: it is fixed, does not rotate, and carries no timing or measurement scale. The fluted bezel is the feature that separates 126331 from the smooth-bezel Everose Rolesor reference 126301.
This reference is fitted with the Jubilee bracelet, the five-piece link design made for the launch of the Datejust in 1945. It is built in Everose Rolesor, with Oystersteel outer links and 18 ct Everose gold centre links, and attaches to the case at a 21 mm lug width.
The clasp is the folding Oysterclasp, which includes the Easylink comfort extension. Easylink allows the wearer to lengthen the bracelet by 5 mm without tools, folding out from inside the clasp to accommodate changes in wrist size.
Reference 126331 is offered in two bracelet configurations under different suffix codes: this Jubilee build and an Oyster three-link build. Both use the Everose Rolesor material pairing and the Oysterclasp with Easylink.
The watch runs the Rolex Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement introduced in 2016 as the successor to the Calibre 3135. It is a Manufacture Rolex movement developed and produced in-house, and it holds 14 patents.
The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), carries 31 jewels, and delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. It winds bidirectionally through a Perpetual rotor. The oscillator uses a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring with a Rolex overcoil, regulated by four gold Microstella nuts on a variable-inertia balance, mounted on Paraflex shock absorbers.
At its core is the Chronergy escapement, a Rolex-patented escapement with a skeletonised escape wheel and offset geometry, made from nickel-phosphorus so it is unaffected by magnetic fields. It is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, meaning COSC certification followed by a second Rolex test after casing to a rate of -2/+2 seconds per day.
Functions are centre hours, minutes and seconds, plus the instantaneous date. The date is set by unscrewing the crown and using the rapid-setting position, and the movement includes a stop-seconds function so the seconds hand halts when the crown is pulled out, allowing the time to be set precisely.
The case middle, case back and bracelet outer links are Oystersteel, the corrosion-resistant steel from the 904L family that Rolex uses across the Oyster range. The bezel, winding crown and bracelet centre links are solid 18 ct Everose gold, Rolex’s in-house rose gold alloy that adds a small amount of platinum to hold its pink tone over time.
The crystal is synthetic sapphire with a Cyclops lens over the date. The hour markers and hands are 18 ct gold filled with Chromalight luminescent material. The clasp is Everose Rolesor, matching the bracelet.
The overall material character is a two-tone construction that combines steel structure with solid-gold bezel, crown and centre links, rather than any form of plating.

The box has been consistent since 2016. Seller-set differences, service-replacement boxes, booklet revisions, sleeve changes, and missing accessories are not separate manufacturer box generations. A service box or a mismatched box on a full set is a replacement, not a distinct generation.
A new 126331 is sold with the Rolex international warranty of five years, which Rolex applies across its current catalogue and which has been the standard length since the 2015 extension. Coverage is registered at the point of sale by the authorised dealer.
The warranty document is the credit-card-format Rolex guarantee card, dated and validated by the selling dealer, and it functions as the primary proof of purchase. A 2026 example carries the current full-green card.
Older version
Newer version
On a 2026 example the warranty is the newer full-green card, and the five-year coverage runs from the purchase date and remains active. The dated sale card is the main authenticity document in a full set; a blank or undated card carries less weight for that purpose.
Reference 126331 is a current-catalogue Rolex model.
The 41 mm case gives the Datejust 41 a fuller presence than the 36 mm Datejust while keeping a relatively flat profile that sits close to the wrist. It suits medium to larger wrists and works as a dress or everyday watch.
The Jubilee bracelet, with its smaller five-piece links, drapes more fluidly than the Oyster and reads as the dressier of the two options. The Easylink extension adds 5 mm of on-the-fly adjustment for warmer days or a looser fit.
The two-tone build carries more weight than an all-steel Datejust 41 because of the solid-gold bezel, crown and centre links. The chocolate dial with warm Everose gold furniture gives the watch a tonal, low-contrast look on the wrist.
Every 126331 shares the same constants: the 41 mm Everose Rolesor Oyster case, the fluted 18 ct Everose gold bezel, and the Calibre 3235. Variation across the reference is in the bracelet and the dial.
