Rolex Lady-Datejust 31 31 mm 278273OGRDVIJ Steel/Yellow Gold Green

The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied dress watches in horological history, tracing its origins to 1957 as the first self-winding waterproof wristwatch with an automatically changing date to be sized specifically for women. Across decades it has remained the benchmark by which feminine luxury watchmaking is measured, blending technical credibility with effortless elegance. Reference 278273OGRDVIJ represents a thoroughly modern chapter in that story, pairing Oystersteel with warm 18k yellow gold for a two-tone aesthetic that resonates with collectors and first-time buyers alike.

At 31mm the case occupies that ideal middle ground between the original 26mm and today's larger sport watches, sitting flush and balanced on a wide range of wrist sizes. The Oyster case is crafted in Rolex's proprietary Oystersteel, a 904L stainless steel alloy renowned for its superior resistance to corrosion and its ability to take a deep, sustained polish that lesser alloys cannot match. Every curve of the case has been honed to Rolex's exacting tolerances, resulting in a profile that is both architecturally precise and inherently wearable.

The dial of reference 278273OGRDVIJ is finished in an olive green tone that shifts subtly in light from rich forest to warm sage, giving it extraordinary visual depth. Roman numerals mark the hours with classical authority, and the diamond-set VI marker introduces a discreet glint of luxury without overwhelming the composition. Overhead the 18k yellow gold fluted bezel—one of the most recognizable design motifs in watchmaking—frames the dial and reflects light in a continuous interplay that elevates the watch from timepiece to jewel.

Propulsion is provided by a Rolex-certified automatic movement, ensuring self-winding convenience and the long-term reliability that has made Rolex movements the choice of professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres (330 feet), sealed by the Triplock winding crown and the Oyster case back, so it handles daily life—from morning shower to evening dinner—without compromise. The Jubilee bracelet, with its characteristic five-piece link construction, drapes comfortably against the wrist and completes the watch's dressy, polished character.
