Description
At the heart of the Rolex Datejust 178243 beats the perpetual, self-winding caliber 2235, a movement engineered exclusively for Rolex’s 31mm women’s cases and distinguished by its -2/+2 seconds per day chronometer precision. This unworn example combines the warmth of yellow gold case construction with the striking contrast of a black index dial, creating the visual tension that has made two-tone Datejust references coveted among collectors who appreciate understated luxury. The 31mm proportions represent Rolex’s modern interpretation of the classic mid-size case, while the five-link Jubilee bracelet adds textural complexity through its alternating brushed and polished surfaces. Reference 178243 belongs to the generation that introduced Rolex’s current bracelet technology, including the concealed Crownclasp system that maintains the seamless aesthetic line.
