Description
Within Rolex’s contemporary Datejust lineup, the reference 178248 represents the quintessential expression of solid yellow gold craftsmanship in the coveted 31mm case size. This champagne-dialed variant commands particular attention among collectors who appreciate the warmth of 18k yellow gold paired with the refined elegance of a subtly metallic champagne face. The 178248 serves as the all-gold counterpart to the two-tone variants, offering uncompromising luxury in a size that bridges the gap between the smaller 28mm and larger 36mm offerings. Its unworn condition places this timepiece among the increasingly rare examples entering today’s secondary market in pristine state.
