About this watch

The dark mother-of-pearl diamond dial paired with yellow gold creates an undeniably sophisticated presence in this Rolex Datejust 278278, offered here in unworn condition. This 31mm yellow gold case strikes an elegant balance, making it versatile for both formal occasions and everyday wear without overwhelming the wrist. The fluted bezel's signature ridged texture catches light beautifully against the precious metal construction, while the Oyster bracelet maintains the collection's trademark durability. Ten diamond hour markers punctuate the lustrous dark mother-of-pearl surface, creating depth and brilliance that changes character throughout the day.
