The Rolex Lady-Datejust is one of the most storied dress watches in horological history, introduced in 1957 as the first waterproof, self-winding wristwatch designed specifically for women. For more than six decades it has set the benchmark for refined elegance at the 31 mm scale, blending Rolex's signature mechanical precision with timeless aesthetic authority. Reference 278278DGDP represents a thoroughly modern iteration of that legacy, realized entirely in 18k yellow gold and finished to Rolex's exacting Oystersteel-level standards across every polished and brushed surface.

The 31 mm Oyster case of the 278278DGDP is crafted in 18k yellow gold, giving the watch its warm, unmistakable glow. The dark grey diamond dial adds dramatic depth, with diamond hour markers catching the light in a way that shifts character from boardroom to evening event. The yellow gold fluted bezel—a hallmark Rolex design element dating to the earliest Datejust references—frames the dial with a rhythmic, sculptural border that complements the richness of the dial perfectly.

The President bracelet completes the picture with an authority that few bracelets in watchmaking can match. Originally created for the Datejust Day-Date and long associated with heads of state and luminaries, the three-piece semi-circular link bracelet in 18k yellow gold wraps the wrist with supple weight and a luxurious drape. Its concealed Crownclasp ensures a clean, uninterrupted visual line from case to clasp.

Powering the 278278DGDP is a Rolex-certified automatic movement, built and regulated in-house to meet the brand's Superlative Chronometer standard—a certification that demands accuracy within plus or minus two seconds per day, well beyond the official COSC chronometer benchmark. The watch carries 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance courtesy of the screwed-down Triplock winding crown, meaning it is every bit as capable as its elegance suggests.

Wearing the Lady-Datejust 31 ref. 278278DGDP is an experience defined by presence and proportion. At 31 mm the watch sits with confident femininity without overwhelming a smaller wrist, and the all-yellow-gold construction gives it a wholeness that two-tone or steel references simply cannot replicate. Whether worn alone or stacked alongside fine jewelry, this reference commands attention.

Bizak & Co. is a trusted luxury watch dealer offering premium pre-owned and new timepieces to discerning collectors across the United States.

The 278278DGDP is driven by a Rolex in-house automatic movement certified to the brand's Superlative Chronometer standard, which guarantees accuracy to within plus or minus two seconds per day.

Yes—the Lady-Datejust 31 ref. 278278DGDP is built to Rolex's Oyster standards, which include 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance via a screwed-down Triplock crown.
