Description
Powered by Rolex’s perpetual caliber 2235, the Datejust 178344 combines white gold construction with a striking purple diamond Roman VI dial that transforms the classic 31mm silhouette into something decidedly more contemporary. This reference emerged during Rolex’s exploration of colored gemstone dials in the late 2000s, when the manufacture began incorporating precious stones beyond traditional diamond hour markers. The 24mm white gold case provides the perfect canvas for the dial’s purple diamonds, while the iconic Oyster bracelet maintains the collection’s sporting DNA. Each purple diamond has been carefully selected and set to create a gradient effect that catches light differently throughout the day.
