Used on its own, the {timestamp} variable only returns a numeric value.
To get a readable display, you have to use the style parameter.
Timestamps
Timestamps display a dynamic date or time, interpreted directly by Discord. They automatically adapt to the user's language, their time zone and the moment the message is read.
Usage
The {timestamp} variable represents a date as a Discord timestamp.
