Product detailed description
Rolex Datejust 36 “Wimbledon” Slate Grey Dial — Ref. 126231
A contemporary classic defined by character and heritage. The Rolex Datejust 36 Ref. 126231, widely known as the “Wimbledon”, presents one of the most distinctive and recognizable dial designs within the Datejust collection. Combining classic proportions with a bold yet balanced aesthetic, this configuration pairs Everose Rolesor construction with the iconic slate grey dial accented by green Roman numerals — a design that has become emblematic in modern Rolex history.
Elegant without being traditional, expressive without excess, the Wimbledon dial transforms the familiar Datejust into a statement of confident individuality.
Why choose this model?
Distinctive dial
The slate grey dial is defined by applied Roman numerals outlined in Rolex green — a design element inspired by the brand’s long-standing association with The Championships, Wimbledon. The contrast creates depth and immediate visual identity while remaining refined and legible.
Everose Rolesor case construction
The combination of Oystersteel and 18 ct Everose gold delivers durability with warmth. Rolex’s proprietary Everose alloy is engineered to preserve its color over time, ensuring long-term aesthetic consistency.
Fluted bezel in 18 ct Everose gold
The fluted bezel reflects light with precision and remains one of Rolex’s most enduring design signatures. Crafted from solid Everose gold, it reinforces the watch’s classic identity.
Rolex Calibre 3235
The in-house automatic Calibre 3235 features the Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers, and an approximately 70-hour power reserve, delivering Superlative Chronometer-certified performance.
Design character & collector appeal
The Wimbledon dial occupies a unique place within the Datejust family. Its unmistakable typography and color accents set it apart from traditional baton or diamond configurations, making it instantly recognizable while remaining grounded in Rolex tradition.
The Ref. 126231 is especially valued for its versatility — equally at home in formal settings or everyday wear — and for its strong presence on the secondary market due to sustained demand.
