On the pre-owned market, a steel Rolex Datejust 41 with the white gold fluted bezel (reference 126334) is usually asked at about $13,900 to $16,000, with a typical ask near $14,800. The smooth-bezel 126300 sits lower, around $10,000 to $11,300. The two-tone 126333 sits higher, around $15,000 to $17,700. These figures come from our daily Watch Market Reports between October 9 and November 14, 2026.
The Datejust 41 shows up in almost every report we publish. It is the most listed Rolex family we track, so there is enough data to say where asks actually land, which reference costs what, and how much room there is between the low and high end.
Datejust 41 asking prices by reference
| Reference | Case and bezel | Typical ask | Middle half of asks | Reports with data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 126300 | Steel, smooth bezel | $10,600 | $10,000 to $11,300 | 22 |
| 126334 | Steel, white gold fluted bezel | $14,800 | $13,875 to $16,000 | 35 |

126334: the reference that sets the market
The 126334 is the Datejust 41 most sellers list. It appeared in 35 of our reports with an average of 19 listings each, often the largest single-reference group of the day. Its typical ask sat around $14,800, and the middle half of asks usually ran from about $13,900 to $16,000.
Daily medians moved between $13,500 and $16,400 over the period. That movement is mostly the mix of listings on a given day, not the market swinging. Dial and set status also shift where a given listing lands. Cross-posting also inflates the listing count, since the same watch is often posted in several places at once.
126300: the entry point to the Datejust 41
The 126300 trades the white gold fluted bezel for a smooth steel one, and the asks reflect it. Its typical ask was about $10,600, roughly $4,200 below the 126334, with the middle half usually between $10,000 and $11,300. It showed up in 22 reports.
It is also one of the tighter Datejust references. On several days the middle half of asks spanned less than $1,000, which means most sellers are pricing it close to the same number.
126333 and 126331: the two-tone references
The yellow gold two-tone 126333 had a typical ask of about $16,000, with the middle half from $15,000 to $17,663. It appeared in 23 reports. Its range is wider than the steel models, and the top end is usually diamond-dial examples, so a listing well above $18,000 is often a different configuration rather than an outlier.
The Everose two-tone 126331 is listed far less often. It appeared in only 3 reports, at a typical ask near $16,500. Treat that figure as a rough guide until there is more data.
How the Datejust 41 compares with the 36mm models
The Datejust 36 is not automatically cheaper. The steel and white gold 126234 had a typical ask of about $13,500, close to the 41mm 126334, and the two-tone 126233 sat around $16,400. Size is a matter of preference more than a large price gap at this level.
What moves a Datejust 41 ask
- Reference. Bezel and metal set the price band. Moving from the smooth 126300 to the fluted 126334 adds about $4,000 at the typical ask.
- Dial. Diamond dials sit at the top of the range. In our reports they often made up the top of the 126333 band.
- Set status. Full set means box and papers. Compare full-set listings with full-set listings, since a watch-only example and a full set are not the same offer.
- Bracelet. Jubilee and Oyster bracelet versions are both common. Check which one is in the listing before comparing asks.
How to use these numbers
Start with the middle half for the reference you want. A listing inside it is priced where most sellers are. A listing below it is worth a closer look at condition and set status, and a listing above it should have a reason, such as a sought-after dial or a recent production date.
