Rolex 278240-0014 Datejust 31mm Stainless Steel Jubilee Pink – Roman Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 31 – Ref. 278240-0014

The Rolex Datejust 31 Ref. 278240-0014 is a women’s timepiece that harmonizes classic Rolex DNA with softer design accents and modern performance. Built entirely of Oystersteel with a domed bezel, it features a delicate pink dial and a Jubilee bracelet. With a 31 mm case, robust self-winding movement, and elegant finishes, it’s crafted for wearers who appreciate Rolex precision elegantly scaled.

Case & Material Construction

This Datejust 31 uses Rolex’s patented Oystersteel, a particularly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel alloy, for both its case and bracelet. The bezel is also in polished steel with a smooth domed profile rather than fluted, giving this reference a subtler, dressier look. The 31 mm case is waterproof to 100 meters / 330 feet, thanks to the Oyster construction, screw-down Twinlock crown, and solid caseback.

Pink Dial & Aesthetic Signature

Under the sapphire crystal (with Cyclops magnifier over the date) sits a tasteful pink dial finished with a sunray motif that plays with light. The dial features applied Roman numeral hour markers — a classical Rolex touch that gives the face a refined, timeless character — paired with dauphine-style hands for clear legibility and elegant contrast.

Movement & Performance – Calibre 2236

Inside this reference beats the in-house Rolex Calibre 2236, an automatic, self-winding movement developed for smaller case formats. It includes Rolex innovations such as the Syloxi silicon hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, enhancing both accuracy and robustness. Post-casing, the movement is rated as a Superlative Chronometer, with precision of –2/+2 seconds per day. Its power reserve is approximately 55 hours, providing practical autonomy.

Bracelet, Clasp & Comfort

The 278240-0014 is mounted on a Jubilee bracelet with elegant five-piece links known for flexibility, comfort, and refined style. It closes via Rolex’s concealed folding Crownclasp, maintaining a seamless aesthetic. The Jubilee bracelet is well-suited to the 31 mm case—lightweight, wearable, and polished for everyday elegance.
