About this watch

At the heart of the Rolex Datejust 178344 beats the caliber 2235, a self-winding movement engineered specifically for the smaller 31mm case that delivers the same chronometric precision expected from its larger siblings. This stainless steel and white gold configuration showcases a striking pink diamond dial that transforms the traditional Datejust aesthetic into something decidedly more contemporary. The 24-diamond bezel catches light with mathematical precision, each stone hand-set to Rolex's exacting standards. Originally introduced as part of the mid-size Datejust line, the 178344 bridges the gap between the classic 36mm and the Lady-Datejust collections.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Two-Tone Construction — Oystersteel case paired with 18ct white gold fluted bezel set with 24 brilliant-cut diamonds, creating visual contrast while maintaining structural integrity
