Rolex 126201-0030 Datejust 36mm Stainless Steel Everose Gold Oyster Slate Roman Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0030: The Everose Rolesor “Wimbledon” on Oyster

The Rolex Datejust 36 Reference 126201-0030 is a premier example of Rolex’s ability to combine sporting prestige with the warmth of 18ct Everose gold. This specific configuration, featuring the legendary “Wimbledon” dial and the robust Oyster bracelet, is a highly sought-after reference for 2026. It offers a contemporary, architectural profile that bridges the gap between a professional sports watch and a high-luxury dress piece.

The Iconic Slate “Wimbledon” Dial

The most unique characteristic of the 126201-0030 is its slate dial, universally known in the horological world as the “Wimbledon” dial. This design serves as a sophisticated tribute to the green grass courts of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. The dial features a sunray finish, which creates subtle light reflections that shift from charcoal to metallic grey as the wearer moves their wrist.

The hallmark of this dial is its Roman numeral markers, which are uniquely outlined in a vibrant forest green. This color choice provides a deep, rich contrast against the slate background. For functional balance, the 9 o’clock position features a single baton marker filled with Chromalight, emitting a long-lasting blue glow in the dark, perfectly synchronized with the 18ct Everose gold hands.

Everose Rolesor and the Smooth Domed Bezel

This reference is a flagship model for Everose Rolesor—the meeting of 904L Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold. Rolex’s proprietary Everose gold is an 18ct pink gold alloy cast in the brand’s own foundry. By adding a touch of platinum to the gold and copper mix, Rolex ensures the unique pink hue remains eternal and never loses its luster.

Unlike the fluted models, the 126201-0030 features a smooth domed bezel in solid 18ct Everose gold. This design choice gives the watch a sleek, modern, and minimalist profile. The polished surface of the bezel flows seamlessly into the 36mm Oyster case, emphasizing the watch’s streamlined “sport-chic” aesthetic that transitions perfectly from casual attire to a formal business suit.

The Robust Oyster Bracelet

To complement the modern profile of the smooth bezel, this reference is fitted with the legendary Oyster bracelet. Characterized by its flat three-piece links, the Oyster bracelet is the most durable in the Rolex collection. The central links are polished 18ct Everose gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel, providing a stunning bi-color interplay of textures. The bracelet is equipped with the Folding Oysterclasp and the Easylink 5mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit instantly for maximum comfort throughout the day.

Mechanical Supremacy: Calibre 3235

Inside the hermetically sealed Oyster case beats the Calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology. As a Superlative Chronometer, it is certified to an incredible precision of -2/+2 seconds per day. Key technical benefits include:

• 70-Hour Power Reserve: Ensuring the watch remains accurate even if left unworn over a weekend.
• Chronergy Escapement: Made of nickel-phosphorus to offer high energy efficiency and resistance to magnetic fields.
• Twinlock System: Guaranteeing a water resistance of up to 100 meters (330 feet).
