About this watch

The rich aubergine dial of this white gold Datejust 31 creates an unmistakably sophisticated presence, enhanced by Roman numerals and a diamond marker at six o'clock that catches light with subtle brilliance. Reference 278274 exemplifies Rolex's mastery of color depth, where the deep purple-burgundy hue shifts between wine and plum depending on ambient lighting. The 31mm white gold case provides the perfect proportional canvas for this distinctive dial combination, while the iconic fluted bezel adds textural contrast against the smooth jubilee bracelet links. This unworn example represents one of the most visually striking color offerings in the contemporary Datejust lineup.
