Rolex Datejust 41 "Wimbledon" Slate Roman Yellow Rolesor Oyster - Ref. 126333 / Pre-Owned

Slate dial, green-outlined Roman numerals, yellow gold, and an Oyster bracelet—this is the Datejust configuration collectors instantly recognize as the "Wimbledon." Datejust 41 Ref. 126333 combines Oystersteel and 18 kt yellow gold in Rolex Yellow Rolesor, pairing the distinctive slate dial with a yellow-gold fluted bezel and the cleaner, sportier three-piece Oyster bracelet.

The so-called Wimbledon dial is what makes this watch immediately recognizable. Its slate sunray surface shifts with the light, while the dark Roman numerals with green detailing give the dial a character unlike a conventional Datejust. Rolex officially describes Ref. 126333 in this configuration as a 41mm Oystersteel-and-yellow-gold Datejust with a slate dial, fluted bezel, and Oyster bracelet; the "Wimbledon" name is the enthusiast nickname that has become widely associated with this dial treatment.

Rolex manufacture calibre 3235 powers the watch, providing approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The instantaneous date is magnified beneath the Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock, while the Oyster case is waterproof to 100 meters. The Oyster bracelet incorporates Rolex's Easylink comfort extension for quick fit adjustment.

The Wimbledon dial is one of those Datejust details that turns a familiar Rolex into a watch collectors identify from across the room. Add the yellow Rolesor case, fluted bezel, and Oyster bracelet and this becomes a very particular 126333—not simply another two-tone Datejust. When buying pre-owned, configuration is everything. If this is the Wimbledon combination you wanted, seeing this exact example marked sold later is a lousy way to confirm it.
