Rolex Datejust 31 — Reference 278274-0020
Introducing the elegant Rolex Datejust 31, reference 278274-0020 — a refined ladies’ wristwatch that combines Rolex’s legendary craftsmanship with a soft, feminine aesthetic. With a 31 mm White Rolesor case, a fluted white gold bezel, and a pink sunray dial accented by Roman numerals, this model captures timeless style with modern precision.
Case & Materials
The case is built in Rolex’s signature White Rolesor, a harmonious blend of Oystersteel and 18 ct white gold, which gives the watch both structural strength and luminous elegance. At 31 mm in diameter, it offers balanced presence on many wrists without feeling oversized. The bezel is a fluted white gold bezel — a Rolex hallmark that refracts light beautifully and reinforces the model’s refined character. The case architecture uses the Oyster design — monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock winding crown — enabling water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Dial & Display
278274-0020 is distinguished by its pink sunray dial, crafted to diffuse light in graceful radial patterns. The dial is detailed with elegant Roman numeral hour markers, offering a classical touch that complements the soft tone of the dial. At 3 o’clock sits Rolex’s signature date window, magnified via the Cyclops lens to enhance legibility. The contrast between the pink dial and the polished white metal elements lends this watch both clarity and feminine charm.
Movement & Precision
Powering the 278274-0020 is Rolex Calibre 2236, an in-house self-winding mechanical movement celebrated for its reliability and refined engineering. It delivers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, allowing flexibility between wears. Among its features are instant date change, stop-seconds for precise setting, and the use of modern enhancements (such as the Syloxi silicon hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers) to elevate accuracy and durability. After casing, Rolex certifies this timepiece under its Superlative Chronometer standards, specifying performance within –2/+2 seconds per day.
Bracelet & Wearability
The 278274-0020 is fitted with Rolex’s classic Jubilee bracelet in Oystersteel — a five-piece link design that marries comfort with a refined aesthetic. It closes via a concealed folding Crownclasp, allowing the bracelet to retain a seamless, elegant look on the wrist. The 31 mm case size, combined with the supple bracelet, ensures the watch wears gracefully across a variety of wrist sizes.
