Rolex 278274-0023 Datejust 31mm Stainless Steel – White Gold Oyster Pink Diamond-set Dial Watch

Rolex Datejust 31 — Reference 278274-0023

Introducing the graceful and luminous Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 278274-0023, a ladies’ wristwatch that blends gem-set elegance with Rolex’s engineering excellence. With a 31 mm White Rolesor case, fluted white gold bezel, pink sunray dial enriched with diamond accents, and an Oyster bracelet, this model is a poised expression of subtle luxury.

Case & Materials

The 31 mm case is constructed in White Rolesor — Rolex’s signature synergy of Oystersteel and 18 ct white gold — offering both durability and radiant elegance. The screw-down Twinlock crown, monobloc middle case, and screw down case back encapsulate Rolex’s Oyster architecture, ensuring water resistance to 100 meters / 330 feet. Sitting atop the case is a fluted white gold bezel, a timeless Rolex hallmark that interacts beautifully with light and gives the watch an architectural garnish. The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire with Rolex’s Cyclops magnifier over the date window for enhanced legibility.

Dial & Distinctive Features

The dial is a pink sunray finish, created with radial brushing that captures and diffuses light elegantly, giving depth and motion to the surface. Hour markers are Roman numerals in polished white gold, combining classical styling with modern clarity. A standout detail: the Roman “VI” is set with 11 diamonds, offering a refined focal point without overpowering the dial’s balance. The date aperture is located at 3 o’clock and magnified by the Cyclops lens for quick reading.

Movement & Performance

Powering the 278274-0023 is Rolex Calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement developed fully in-house. It offers approximately 55 hours of power reserve, making it practical for everyday wear. Rolex certifies the completed watch under its Superlative Chronometer standard, meaning its precision is guaranteed to be within –2/+2 seconds per day after casing. Functions include center hour, minute, and seconds, instantaneous date change, and stop-seconds for precise setting. The mechanism also benefits from Rolex’s proprietary technologies such as the Syloxi silicon hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers to enhance stability and shock resistance.

Bracelet & Comfort

278274-0023 is fitted with the robust and elegant Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel — three-piece solid links delivering both strength and refined form. The bracelet is secured with a folding Oysterclasp, and includes the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust length on the go for optimal comfort. A combination of the 31 mm case and the Oyster bracelet ensures the watch sits well on the wrist — confident yet comfortable.
