About this watch

Rolex Steel and Yellow Gold Datejust 31 Watch - Domed Bezel - Mother-Of-Pearl Diamond Dial - Jubilee Bracelet - 178243 mdj

Yellow gold's warm radiance against mother-of-pearl creates an entirely different wrist presence than steel, transforming the 31mm Datejust into something far more precious than its modest diameter might suggest. The Rolex Datejust 178243 achieves this transformation through its two-tone construction, where 18k yellow gold meets Oystersteel in proportions that feel substantial without overwhelming smaller wrists. Diamond hour markers catch light against the iridescent mother-of-pearl dial, creating micro-reflections that shift with each gesture. This unworn example represents the Datejust at its most refined, where precious materials elevate the foundational design into genuine luxury territory.

“I purchased my first Porsche 911 from Brett. It was my first time purchasing a car without being able to see it in person and Brett made this process easy. He made sure I knew the exact condition of the car prior to finalizing the purchase.”
