Rolex Datejust 31mm Slate Index Everose Jubilee Bracelet 278271

Overview 

The Rolex Datejust 31 reference 278271 is a masterclass in modern femininity, offering a "mid-size" proportion that bridges the gap between the dainty 28mm Lady-Datejust and the larger 36mm models. This reference is a stunning example of Everose Rolesor—the harmonious marriage of Rolex’s proprietary 18k Everose gold and robust Oystersteel. While the Datejust has been a cornerstone of horology since 1945, this 31mm iteration brings a contemporary, executive weight to the wrist, making it a favorite for those who desire a watch that is both an elegant piece of jewelry and a serious timepiece.

The soul of this configuration is the sophisticated Slate dial. This deep, sunray-finished grey provides a muted, architectural contrast to the warm, reddish hues of the Everose gold. Unlike diamond-set versions, this model features applied 18k Everose gold index markers, offering a cleaner, more tailored aesthetic that emphasizes the dial’s sunburst texture. Framing this display is the signature fluted bezel in 18k Everose gold, which serves as a radiant light-catcher, ensuring the watch remains unmistakably Rolex from across a room.

The watch is presented on the legendary Jubilee bracelet, the supple five-piece link design that is the quintessential partner to the fluted bezel. In this Rolesor execution, the central links are crafted from polished 18k Everose gold, while the outer links are brushed Oystersteel. This creates a rhythmic, bi-color drape that is exceptionally comfortable and resistant to the rigors of daily wear. The bracelet is secured by a concealed folding Crownclasp, which provides a seamless, uninterrupted look around the wrist—a high-jewelry touch exclusive to the smaller Datejust sizes.

Under the hood, the 278271 is powered by the Calibre 2236, a self-winding movement featuring Rolex’s patented Syloxi hairspring in silicon. This movement is specifically engineered for precision and resistance to magnetic fields, offering an improved 55-hour power reserve. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, it guarantees an accuracy of $-2/+2$ seconds per day. With its 100-meter water resistance and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the Slate Index Datejust 31 is a robust, versatile daily companion that balances the warmth of Everose gold with a professional, understated dial.
