About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its 278278-0003 iteration, embodies the enduring elegance of a collection that has defined luxury horology since its introduction in 1945. This particular reference distinguishes itself through a harmonious interplay of materials and design, blending the warmth of yellow gold with the striking depth of a malachite dial. The 31mm case, a modern refinement of the Datejust’s classic proportions, is framed by the iconic fluted bezel, a hallmark of Rolex’s craftsmanship that adds a subtle yet unmistakable touch of sophistication. The dial’s rich green hue, derived from the naturally veined malachite, is both timeless and distinctive, its gloss finish catching light in a way that underscores the material’s organic character. Roman numerals and slender stick hands contribute to a dial layout that is at once traditional and refined, balancing legibility with aesthetic restraint. At its core, the watch is powered by Rolex’s in-house Caliber 2236, a self-winding movement celebrated for its precision and reliability. Encased
