This is not just due to the valuable materials from which this watch is made. The shape of the watch's rather small case, with a diameter of 31 millimeters, is also elegant. The case is particularly characterized by, among other things, the characteristic horn brackets and the flanks in the middle part of the watch case.
Special features of the bezel
A special distinguishing feature of the elegant Rolex watch is its fluted Oyster bezel. This uniform ribbing on the edge of the dial initially only had a purely practical purpose: it was simply used to screw the watch to the middle part of the case to ensure that the Rolex was watertight. That's why the ribbing corresponded to that on the bottom of the watch case. This back was also screwed to the middle part of the clock with the help of special tools. This meant that no more moisture could penetrate the watch. As dense as an oyster, the watch rightly bears the name Oyster. Over time, the ribbing took on a purely aesthetic function and developed into the characteristic symbol of a Rolex watch. This distinctive feature of the fluted bezel, which is exclusively made of fine gold, has retained its significance to this day.
Impressive colored dials
The Rolex Datejust 31 Oystersteel / White Gold with reference 278274 is presented to watch lovers with dials in different colors. The remarkable watch exudes elegance with a dark, aubergine-colored dial. The Datejust, on the other hand, presents a cool restraint with its clear white lacquered dial. The two colors mint green and dark gray with a radial cut, on the other hand, form an impressive contrast to the luxurious white gold of the watch's case and bracelet. The reference 278274 is the successor to the reference 178274. Lovers of luxurious watches can buy this Rolex with two different bracelets.
