Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 178271 automatic 31 mm

The Datejust, an Timeless Icon

Since its launch in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has established itself as one of the most iconic timepieces in contemporary watchmaking. The first waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date through an aperture at 3 o’clock, it embodies the perfect balance between classic elegance and technical innovation.

A true pillar of the Rolex catalog, the Datejust captivates with its versatility, exemplary legibility, and instantly recognizable aesthetics, defined by signature elements such as the fluted bezel, Cyclops lens, refined dials, and the impeccably comfortable Oyster and Jubilee bracelets.

Getting to Know It

With its 31 mm case, the Rolex Datejust ref. 178271 reflects the timeless elegance of the brand’s most iconic collection. Striking a balance between presence and discretion, this configuration combines Oystersteel with an 18k Everose gold fluted bezel — an instantly recognizable aesthetic signature within the Rolex universe.

This model stands out with its crisp white dial, featuring Roman numeral hour markers that echo the fluted bezel and the two-tone Oyster bracelet. At 3 o’clock, the emblematic date window with its Cyclops lens reinforces the watch’s visual identity while enhancing day-to-day legibility.

Inside beats the self-winding Rolex Caliber 2235, a chronometer-certified movement fully developed and manufactured by Rolex, ensuring precision, reliability, and robustness. The three-link Oyster bracelet in steel lends the watch a refined yet versatile style, suitable for every occasion.
