Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

About the Datejust 36 126231

The Rolex Datejust 36 126231 is a reference in the Rolex Datejust collection. Rolex has made it since 2018. From our catalog: a 36 mm case in Everose Rolesor (steel & Everose gold); bezel: Fluted, 18k Everose gold; movement: Calibre 3235. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

The range for the 126231 rests on 49 sold results (45 eBay sales and 4 auction results), and the sales we list run from November 2023 to October 2026. Sales bunched in June 2026, which alone accounts for 10 of them. The auction side of the record is Grailzee. The label is moderate confidence, which suits a reference with a fair, not deep, run of sales. The last recorded result is 28 days old, recent enough to anchor the figure. Recent results wander by about 17%, a Moving market where timing and condition shift the outcome. Its band runs about 35% under the midpoint and 34% over it, a guide to how far a fair offer can stray. It trades at a regular pace, and a sale's weight halves every 180 days.

Compared with the previous year, prices for the 126231 are 8.2% higher on the median. The record only reaches back to August 2021, short of the five years a long-run figure needs. eBay and auction buyers have paid much the same for the 126231 lately: the two medians differ by about 3%, from 30 eBay sales against 4 auction results.

Our measured gap between a bare watch and a complete set is about 13% for this family, drawn from 131 sales without the paperwork. Set details where stated: 23 with box and papers, 0 without, 6 with one or the other, and 11 sold as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Listed sales ran from about 53% below the worth-about figure (May 29, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) to about 43% above the worth-about figure (September 28, 2026, at Grailzee, unworn, full set), which is the spread a seller should expect.

Close to it on price in the same family: Datejust 41 “Wimbledon” 126334 price, Datejust 41 126333 price and Datejust 31 278271 price.
