Comedian Pete Davidson spotted wearing a Rolex

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian made their most formal red-carpet appearance together at the 2022 White House Correspondents' Dinner, and while Kardashian's silver Thierry Mugler gown commanded most of the fashion coverage, Davidson's wrist told its own story. The comedian was wearing what has become a recognisable fixture on his wrist: a stainless steel Rolex Datejust 41 with a blue diamond-set dial, fluted bezel, and Oyster bracelet — consistent with reference 126334, introduced as part of Rolex's 2016 Datejust 41 generation.

The 126334 sits at the more refined end of the Datejust 41 family. Its 41mm Oystersteel case carries a white-gold fluted bezel — a detail that immediately elevates the watch beyond the standard smooth or domed bezel variants. The vivid blue sunray dial features 11 brilliant-cut diamond indices in place of applied hour markers, a factory option that Rolex designates with a 'G' suffix in the full reference. The combination of blue dial and fluted bezel is one of the more sought-after Datejust configurations, striking a balance between sport and dress that few references in this price bracket achieve.

Under the caseback sits Rolex's Calibre 3235, a movement that represented a significant engineering leap when launched. It features the Chronergy escapement — a patented design offering 15% greater efficiency than a traditional Swiss lever — along with a Paraflex shock absorber and a 70-hour power reserve. COSC-certified and then further adjusted by Rolex to -2/+2 seconds per day, it sets the technical benchmark for the segment.

Davidson has been photographed in this watch on multiple occasions, suggesting it functions as his go-to dress piece rather than a one-time loan or stylist pull. For a comedian whose public image leans heavily casual, the Datejust 41 choice is telling — understated enough to wear without performance, but precise enough in its specification to signal genuine engagement with the object.

On the grey market, the 126334 in blue diamond dial configuration commands a meaningful premium over retail. Supply of fluted-bezel Datejust 41 models with diamond dials remains constrained through authorised dealers, keeping secondary prices elevated. It is, by any measure, the right watch for a black-tie evening in Washington.
