About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its 178274-0038 iteration, embodies the enduring elegance of the Datejust collection, a lineage that has defined luxury timekeeping since its introduction in 1945. This particular reference distinguishes itself through a striking blue dial, its depth heightened by the contrast of polished white gold and stainless steel on the fluted Oyster case. The dial’s minimalist design—marked by stick hands and indexes, alongside a subtle dot at the 12 o’clock position—exudes understated sophistication, while the sapphire crystal ensures clarity and durability. The case’s 31mm diameter and 16mm lug width offer a balanced presence, marrying the Datejust’s heritage of proportion with modern wearability. At its core lies the Caliber 2235, an automatic movement renowned for its precision and reliability, featuring a Parachrom blue balance spring and a date display that operates with seamless smoothness. The watch’s water resistance to 100 meters and the closed case back underscore its practicality without compromising its refined aesthetic. As a member of the Datejust family, it carries the weight of a legacy that has consistently blended horological innovation with timeless design. This watch is for the discerning individual who values quiet authority and enduring craftsmanship. It suits occasions where presence matters—whether in boardrooms, at social gatherings, or during moments of personal reflection. Its blue dial, a hue both classic and contemporary, ensures it remains a versatile companion, never out of place yet always distinctive.
