Description
Powered by Rolex’s perpetual, self-winding mechanical movement with Paraflex shock absorbers, the Datejust 278243 delivers the precision that has defined the collection since 1945, now housed within a 31mm yellow gold case that strikes the perfect balance between presence and elegance. The champagne diamond dial creates depth through applied gold hour markers complemented by ten brilliant-cut diamonds, while the domed bezel adds classical proportions that have remained virtually unchanged for decades. This particular reference represents Rolex’s mastery of mixed metals, pairing 18ct yellow gold with Oystersteel in their signature two-tone execution, completed by the five-piece link Jubilee bracelet that debuted alongside the original Datejust.
