About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 reference 278248-0004 embodies a rare harmony of tradition and artistry, distinguished by its striking malachite dial encased in 18ct yellow gold. The domed crystal, paired with the watch’s rounded silhouette, amplifies the dial’s organic texture, where the deep green of malachite—reminiscent of ancient landscapes—contrasts elegantly with the polished gold of the case and Roman numeral indexes. This interplay of materials and form reflects the Datejust collection’s enduring legacy, first introduced in 1945 as a symbol of refined accessibility within haute horlogerie. The President bracelet, a hallmark of Rolex’s craftsmanship, adds a layer of sophistication with its seamless integration of gold and the iconic five-link design, ensuring both comfort and visual continuity. At its core, the watch houses the Caliber 2236, a self-winding movement celebrated for its precision and reliability, featuring a Parachrom blue balance spring that ensures resilience against shocks and temperature fluctuations. The sapphire crystal, paired with a closed case back, underscores the watch’s durability without compromising its aesthetic allure. The 31mm diameter strikes a balance between presence and subtlety, making it a versatile companion for both formal engagements and moments of quiet distinction. This timepiece is for those who value understated elegance and the quiet confidence of a heritage that speaks volumes. It suits occasions where presence matters—boardrooms, soirées, or simply as a testament to enduring taste—worn with the assurance of a legacy that transcends trends.
