The 126331-0002 pairs Everose Rolesor construction with a chocolate sunburst dial, fluted rose-gold bezel, and Jubilee bracelet in like-new condition.
The piece on offer is a Rolex Datejust 41 in reference 126331-0002 — the two-tone Rolesor variant of the current-generation 41 mm Datejust, introduced when Rolex debuted the Datejust 41 line in 2016 as the successor to the prior Datejust II (116333). The 126331 pairs an Oystersteel case with 18 ct Everose gold appointments: crown guards, fluted bezel, and Jubilee bracelet centre links. This specific example carries the -0002 dial designation: a chocolate sunburst finish with applied stick-index hour markers, omitting the diamond-set option available on alternative dial variants. It wears on the five-piece-link Jubilee bracelet, the design Rolex debuted alongside the original Datejust in 1945. No production year is documented on this listing.
Rolesor is Rolex's term for its mixed steel-and-gold case construction, a Datejust signature since the 1940s. In the 126331 the gold component is Everose — Rolex's proprietary 18 ct rose-gold alloy developed to resist the fading or colour drift that can affect standard rose-gold compositions over time. The fluted bezel is machined directly in Everose, creating a warm-metal accent against the brushed and polished Oystersteel case flanks. The Jubilee bracelet's Everose centre links carry the same tone across the wrist, producing a coherent two-tone presentation. The Oyster case is water-resistant to 100 m via a screw-down Triplock crown and solid screwed caseback.
The chocolate sunburst finish on the -0002 is among the dressier options in the 126331 range. It reads as a rich warm brown under incandescent light and shifts toward a deeper espresso in cooler daylight. Applied Everose baton indices and Mercedes-style hands carry luminescent fill; the Cyclops lens over the three o'clock date window provides the standard 2.5x magnification. The applied Rolex coronet sits at twelve, and no diamonds are present in this dial specification — the clean stick-index layout keeps the dial readable without adding dress formality.
The 126331 runs Rolex's in-house Calibre 3235, introduced across the current Datejust generation to replace the long-running 3135. The 3235 delivers a 70-hour power reserve — up from the 3135's 48 hours — operating at 28,800 vph. It incorporates the Chronergy escapement, a redesigned lever-and-escape-wheel geometry that Rolex states improves mechanical efficiency by approximately 15 percent. The movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, meaning it cleared COSC tolerances before casing and Rolex's own stricter ±2 s/day standard after. The rotor winds bidirectionally; the caseback is solid with no display window.
This watch is offered in like-new condition, indicating minimal use and no meaningful wear to the case, bezel, or bracelet. Neither original box nor papers are included. For a two-tone reference where the surface integrity of the Everose fluted bezel and Jubilee centre-link finishing is central to the watch's visual character, a like-new grade carries meaningful weight: the Everose surfaces should retain their original polish. Buyers should note that without papers, Rolex's five-year warranty is not transferable and independent provenance verification will require examination by a qualified watchmaker — a step worth taking on any pre-owned Rolex regardless of documentation status.
Among 126331 dial variants, the chocolate index configuration is consistently among the more sought-after on the secondary market, appealing to buyers who want the warmth of two-tone Rolesor without the formality of a diamond-set dial. The combination of Everose fluted bezel, chocolate sunburst, and Jubilee bracelet defines the dressier end of the Datejust 41 spec range. Like-new Rolesor examples without papers sit in a well-understood position in the pre-owned market — above worn counterparts, below full-set unworn pieces — and the 126331 is a liquid reference with consistent transactional depth across major resale platforms.
