About this watch

Powered by Rolex's perpetual, self-winding caliber 2236 movement, the Rolex Datejust 278274 represents a masterclass in precision engineering within its refined 31mm white gold case. The white Roman numeral dial creates striking contrast against the warm precious metal case, while the movement's paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring ensures accuracy even when exposed to magnetic fields up to 15 times stronger than standard antimagnetic watches. This reference 278274 houses the same foundational architecture that has driven Datejust watches for decades, now enhanced with modern Rolex innovations including the Chronergy escapement that improves energy efficiency by approximately 15 percent over previous generations.

Key Features & Specifications

  • 31mm White Gold Oyster Case — Crafted from Rolex's proprietary 18ct white gold alloy, providing both luxurious appearance and exceptional corrosion resistance in the brand's most elegant proportions
  • White Roman Numeral Dial — Crisp Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions with applied white gold hour markers, creating perfect legibility against the pristine white lacquered surface
  • White Gold Fluted Bezel — Hand-crafted fluting creates the signature light-catching ridges that have defined Datejust aesthetics since 1945, exclusively executed in precious metal
  • Five-Link Jubilee Bracelet — The brand's most supple bracelet construction featuring alternating polished and brushed surfaces across five rows of links, secured by the Oysterclasp with Easylink comfort extension
  • Sapphire Crystal — Virtually scratchproof sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the interior surface, providing crystal-clear dial visibility from any angle
  • Perpetual Calendar Movement — Self-winding caliber 2236 with instantaneous date change at midnight, 55-hour power reserve, and COSC chronometer certification for daily rate accuracy of -2/+2 seconds
  • Unworn Condition — Complete with all protective films and stickers intact, representing the pinnacle of contemporary Rolex craftsmanship in as-delivered specification
