About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 278241-0017 embodies the enduring elegance of the Datejust collection, reimagined with a refined scale and modern sophistication. Its 31mm case, a harmonious blend of stainless steel and rose gold, offers a more intimate presence while retaining the robustness of the Oyster construction. The grey sunburst dial, with its subtle radiance and sunburst finish, is framed by stick indexes and hands that exude precision and restraint. The domed sapphire crystal adds a sense of depth, while the closed caseback preserves the watch’s streamlined profile. This iteration of the Datejust, first introduced in 1945 as a milestone in self-winding chronometry, continues to balance tradition with contemporary sensibilities. At its core, the watch houses the Caliber 2236, an automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring reliability and accuracy. The 100-meter water resistance and the Oyster case’s triple-layered construction underscore Rolex’s commitment to durability without compromising aesthetics. The interplay of materials—rose gold’s warmth against the coolness of stainless steel—reflects a nuanced approach to design, suitable for both formal occasions and everyday wear. This watch is for the discerning individual who values understated craftsmanship and heritage. It suits those who seek a timepiece that is as functional as it is refined, capable of transcending trends while remaining perpetually relevant.
