Description
Among Rolex’s most captivating dial expressions, the red ombré treatment on this Datejust 31 reference 278278 represents a masterclass in graduated color saturation that collectors actively seek in the contemporary market.

Diamond hour markers punctuate this chromatic gradient with precisely set stones, while the manufacture calibre 2236 movement ensures the technical prowess matches the visual drama. This 2025 example arrives in like-new condition with complete box and papers documentation.
