About this watch

The dark grey diamond dial of this 31mm yellow gold Datejust creates an unexpected contrast that transforms the wrist presence entirely—where traditional precious metal combinations might lean toward warmth, the 278248 reference achieves something more complex. Yellow gold's substantial weight becomes immediately apparent in the President bracelet's semi-circular three-piece links, each one polished to Rolex's exacting standards. Against skin, this Datejust 31 occupies that sweet spot between dressy refinement and daily wearability, with the domed bezel catching light in ways that emphasize the case's compact proportions without sacrificing visual impact.
