About this watch

Powered by Rolex's perpetual caliber 2236, the Datejust 178343 combines the lustrous warmth of yellow gold with the precision engineering that defines contemporary Rolex manufacture movements. This 31mm timepiece showcases a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with diamond hour markers, creating a celestial interplay of natural luminescence against the golden case architecture. The 24-diamond bezel elevates the visual drama while maintaining the classical proportions that have made the Datejust an enduring icon since 1945. Presented in unworn condition, this particular example demonstrates how Rolex seamlessly integrates precious materials with their legendary mechanical foundations.
