Datejust 31 Dark Grey Pave Roman Dial Fluted Bezel Steel 18KT Yellow Gold Oyster M278273-0017

The Rolex Datejust 31 Reference M278273-0017 is an exceptionally luxurious and detailed timepiece, featuring a rare, diamond-accented dial set against a deep background. This model features a sophisticated Dark Grey Pave Roman Dial, the signature Fluted Bezel, and the robust Oyster bracelet, all crafted in the iconic Rolesor Yellow Gold design (Oystersteel and 18K Yellow Gold).

The watch features a robust monobloc middle case in durable Oystersteel (Stainless Steel), ensuring reliability and strength. The case is water-resistant to 100 metres (330 feet), secured by the screw-down Twinlock winding crown.

The case is topped by the signature, shimmering Fluted Bezel, which is crafted from solid 18K Yellow Gold. This fluted bezel is a defining characteristic of the Datejust, designed to catch and reflect light brilliantly, contrasting beautifully with the steel case and the dark dial.

Key Features

The timepiece is fitted with the robust, three-piece link Oyster bracelet, known for its strength and sportier appearance. Crafted in a two-tone Rolesor Yellow Gold style, the outer links are in satin-finished Oystersteel while the center links are in polished 18K Yellow Gold. The bracelet fastens securely with the folding Oysterclasp, which includes the Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link.

The centerpiece is the exclusive Dark Grey Pave Roman Dial. This deep grey color provides a modern and sophisticated backdrop. The dial features an alternating pattern where large Roman Numerals are typically paved with brilliant-cut diamonds (or feature a diamond-set track surrounding them), creating exceptional sparkle and visual depth. The remaining indices (if not paved) are crafted in 18K Yellow Gold.

The date is displayed at 3 o’clock, magnifying beneath the Cyclops lens.

Under the dial lies the robust and precise Calibre 2236 movement. This self-winding mechanical movement incorporates the patented Syloxi hairspring, providing exceptional performance, accuracy, and reliability, and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, completing this distinguished timepiece.
