About this watch

Within the coveted 31mm case size range, few configurations command the same recognition as the steel and yellow gold Datejust with its champagne Roman dial presentation. The reference 178273 represents Rolex's mastery of two-tone construction, where the warmth of yellow gold harmonizes with brushed steel surfaces across the iconic 31mm proportions. This particular example showcases the champagne dial adorned with raised Roman numerals, creating depth and legibility that has made this configuration a cornerstone of the modern Datejust collection. The fluted bezel in yellow gold catches light with distinctive ridged surfaces, while the robust Oyster bracelet provides the perfect foundation for daily wear.
