Rolex 126201-0029 Datejust 36mm Stainless Steel Everose Gold Jubilee Slate Roman Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0029: The Everose “Wimbledon”

The Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0029 is a sophisticated masterwork that brings the legendary “Wimbledon” aesthetic to the warm, contemporary palette of Everose Rolesor. This specific configuration is highly coveted for its distinctive blend of sporting heritage and high-society elegance, making it one of the most recognizable and desirable mid-size watches in the current Rolex catalog.

The Iconic “Wimbledon” Dial

The defining characteristic of this 126201-0029 is its slate dial, famously known as the “Wimbledon” dial due to Rolex’s long-standing partnership with the historic tennis tournament. The dial features a beautiful sunray finish that creates a dynamic play of light across its deep grey surface. Its most unique feature is the Roman numeral markers, which are meticulously outlined in a vibrant forest green—a direct tribute to the grass courts of London. At the 9 o’clock position, a single luminescent baton marker provides a visual balance, ensuring orientation in low-light conditions alongside the iconic 18ct Everose gold hands.

Everose Rolesor and the Smooth Bezel

This timepiece is a stunning example of Everose Rolesor, a signature Rolex combination of 904L Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold. Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy includes platinum, ensuring the metal’s unique pink hue never fades. Unlike the traditional fluted models, this reference features a smooth domed bezel in solid 18ct Everose gold. This design choice provides a sleek, architectural profile that allows the unique dial to remain the focal point while offering a more modern, streamlined aesthetic that transitions perfectly from casual to formal settings.

The Jubilee Bracelet: Peerless Comfort

Further enhancing its luxury appeal, the 126201-0029 is fitted with the legendary Jubilee bracelet. Composed of five-piece solid links, the Jubilee is celebrated for its flexibility and silk-like feel on the wrist. The central links are crafted from polished 18ct Everose gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel. This bracelet is equipped with the Folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to instantly adjust the fit for maximum comfort during daily activities or travel.

Mechanical Mastery: Calibre 3235

Beneath the surface lies the Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement at the cutting edge of watchmaking technology. As a Superlative Chronometer, it is certified to an incredible precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. Key technical features include:

• 70-Hour Power Reserve: Allowing the watch to be unworn for a full weekend and still be perfectly synchronized on Monday morning.
• Chronergy Escapement: Made of nickel-phosphorus, providing high energy efficiency and exceptional resistance to magnetic fields.
• Twinlock System: Ensuring a water resistance of up to 100 meters (330 feet).
