About the Rolex Datejust 31 Ref. 278274
The Datejust is one of the most storied watch references in Rolex's catalog, celebrated as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o'clock, a milestone that defined the modern dress watch. Reference 278274 continues that legacy in the 31 mm case size, pairing Oystersteel with 18 ct white gold accents to create a watch that transitions naturally from professional settings to formal occasions. The dial variety within this single reference number is exceptional, ranging from classic silver and white options to bolder choices like green, black, and pink, allowing buyers to find a personality that suits their style while remaining within the same trusted configuration.

Dial color is the primary driver of desirability and price variation within this reference, with certain colors commanding stronger premiums on the secondary market based on collector demand and production availability.
