The Wimbledon, explained.

The Rolex “Wimbledon” is a Datejust with a slate-grey dial and green-accented Roman numerals, most often the 36 mm 126234 or 41 mm 126334. The green-and-grey palette echoes the tennis championship Rolex sponsors, hence the collector nickname.

Below: what makes the Wimbledon (126234 / 126334) distinctive, what to verify before buying, and how it fits the Naples collector scene.

The Wimbledon dial pairs a slate or rhodium-grey face with Roman numerals printed in green, a restrained two-colour scheme that reads as classic from a distance and distinctive up close. It is offered on the 36 mm 126234 and the 41 mm 126334, with fluted bezels and a choice of Jubilee or Oyster bracelets.

Rolex's long association with the Wimbledon Championships gave the dial its enduring nickname.

What to verify


Checking a Wimbledon before you buy.

  • Confirm the slate dial with green Roman numerals (the genuine Wimbledon dial).
  • Choose the size: 36 mm (126234) or 41 mm (126334), each with calibre 3235.
  • Check the fluted white-gold bezel and the bracelet choice (Jubilee or Oyster).
  • Verify the reference and card; the Wimbledon is current, so full sets are common.
