About the Rolex Datejust 31 278344RBR
The Datejust is one of Rolex's most storied collections, tracing its roots to 1945 as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window on the dial, and the 31 mm case size has long served as the refined midsize expression of that legacy. Reference 278344RBR sits within the current-generation Datejust 31 family introduced with Rolex's updated Rolesor philosophy, pairing Oystersteel with 18k white gold on the bezel setting and crown. The defining feature of this reference is the factory-set diamond bezel, which replaces the classic fluted or smooth bezel with individually set brilliant-cut diamonds for a distinctly glamorous result. Across suffix variants, the dial material and color change while the steel and white gold Rolesor case construction remains consistent, making dial choice the primary differentiator for buyers in this reference family.
What to Look For
When shopping for a Datejust 31 278344RBR, the suffix letters after the base reference number indicate the specific dial configuration — for example, variants designated with BKRO or BKRJ point to black dials while GNSO denotes a green dial — so confirming the exact suffix ensures you receive the precise dial color and finish you want. Value within this reference is influenced by dial rarity, overall condition of the diamond bezel, box and papers presence, and whether the example is unworn or lightly worn, with less common dial colors such as green and pink typically commanding stronger collector interest.
