Rolex Datejust 31 Yellow Rolesor — White Index Dial, Fluted Bezel | Ref. 178273

Reference 178273 brings the Datejust 31 into Yellow Rolesor — Rolex's two-material combination of Oystersteel and 18-carat yellow gold — with a fluted yellow gold bezel and white index dial. The Jubilee bracelet, Rolex's five-link design patented in 1945 alongside the original Datejust, provides a supple fit and connects the watch to its longest-running stylistic tradition. The white dial with applied yellow gold indices keeps the presentation clean and legible, a deliberate restraint that makes this reference suitable for daily wear across professional and social contexts.

Inside beats the Calibre 2236, Rolex's dedicated mid-size movement equipped with a Syloxi silicon hairspring — an innovation that eliminates the need for a traditional lubricant in the escapement, improving long-term accuracy and reducing service intervals. The movement operates at 28,800 vph and delivers 55 hours of power reserve. The Rolesor case construction — steel back and casework with yellow gold crown, bezel, and bracelet outer links — offers the visual warmth of gold at a price point below a fully gold execution.

The 178273 appeals to buyers who appreciate the Datejust's classical two-tone aesthetic in its mid-size form. On the secondary market it trades with consistent demand; the combination of Jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, and white dial is among the most requested configurations for this reference range. For a first gold-touched Rolex or a daily-wear dress piece, it represents excellent value with the full backing of Rolex's manufacture movement and finishing.
