About this watch
Rolex Yellow Gold Datejust 31 Watch - Fluted Bezel - Paved Mother-of-Pearl Butterfly Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 278278 pmopbo
Within the modern Datejust lineage, reference 278278 represents Rolex's mastery of precious metal miniaturization, delivering the collection's signature proportions in a refined 31mm yellow gold case. The paved mother-of-pearl butterfly dial transforms this Rolex Datejust 278278 into a sculptural study of light refraction, where each diamond-set hour marker catches ambient illumination against the organic iridescence of natural nacre. Rolex's signature fluted bezel, rendered in 18-karat yellow gold, creates the precise light-catching ridges that have defined the Datejust aesthetic since 1945, while the integrated Oyster bracelet maintains the sporty DNA that distinguishes this reference from its Jubilee-equipped siblings.
