Blue dials and the Datejust share a long history. From vintage references with pie-pan dials to current-production models, blue has remained among the top three most popular Datejust configurations worldwide. The 126234-0049 presents a deep, saturated blue sunburst at 36mm — the original Datejust diameter — with a fluted white gold bezel and Jubilee bracelet, forming a trio of design elements that Rolex has offered for over half a century.

The 126234 Blue Dial Up Close
The blue sunburst finish radiates from the centre of the dial, producing colour shifts from a near-navy in dim conditions to a vivid royal blue in sunlight. Applied Oystersteel stick hour markers and matching hands carry luminescent fill. A date aperture at three o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens for fast reading.
The fluted white gold bezel contrasts with the cool blue dial, its ridged texture providing a visual border that elevates the overall formality. The Jubilee bracelet drapes naturally at 36mm, sitting lighter and thinner than the Oyster option. Browse other blue-dial references in the Datejust collection.
Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
Two movement tiers let you select based on preference:
- Swiss automatic — higher beat rate for smoother seconds sweep, longer power reserve, and architecture modelled after the caliber 3235. The refined choice for collectors.
- Japanese automatic — Miyota-based movement with consistent accuracy and easy global servicing. A practical option that performs confidently day after day.
Both movements feature hacking seconds and quickset date adjustment.
