Rolex Datejust 31mm Silver 278271

Silver Dial

A Watchmaking Technique

The silver dial reflects refined watchmaking craftsmanship, enhanced with diamonds set in 18 ct gold settings. Its elegant tone is elevated by the signature sunray finish, creating delicate and dynamic light reflections.

This effect is achieved through masterful brushing techniques that form fine grooves radiating outward from the centre of the dial, giving it a structured and luminous surface.

As light moves across these engravings, it is evenly diffused, producing a subtle glow that shifts with wrist movement. Once the sunray finish is complete, the silver colour is applied using advanced Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) or electroplating techniques.

A final layer of varnish enhances depth, brilliance, and durability, completing the dial with a smooth and polished finish.

Fluted Bezel

A Rolex Signature

The fluted bezel is a distinctive Rolex design element that embodies both heritage and refinement. Originally, its fluting served a functional purpose, allowing the bezel to be screwed onto the case to help ensure the watch’s waterproofness.

This design mirrored the fluted case back, which was also securely fastened using specialised Rolex tools to maintain a sealed construction.

Over time, the fluting evolved from a technical feature into a defining aesthetic signature. Today, crafted in gold, it stands as a mark of distinction and elegance on the Datejust 31.

Everose Rolesor

A Meeting of Two Metals

Everose Rolesor combines 18 ct Everose gold with Oystersteel in a refined and harmonious composition. Everose gold is admired for its warm hue and lasting lustre, while Oystersteel ensures strength and enduring reliability.

Together, they harmoniously unite their finest qualities, creating a balanced fusion of elegance and durability that enhances both design and performance.

A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has been part of the brand’s identity since the early 1930s and was trademarked in 1933. It remains a key pillar of the Oyster Perpetual collection, symbolising the seamless union of two exceptional materials.

The Jubilee Bracelet

Supple Comfort and Timeless Design

The Jubilee bracelet combines refined craftsmanship with advanced engineering to deliver exceptional comfort, durability, and precision. Its design, development, and production rely on high-technology processes, while each component undergoes stringent testing to ensure lasting performance.

Alongside technical excellence, every detail is also carefully inspected by eye to guarantee flawless aesthetics and impeccable finishing.

Introduced in 1945 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust, the Jubilee features a distinctive five-piece link construction. Its supple design ensures a smooth, comfortable fit on the wrist, making it a lasting symbol of elegance and refined watchmaking.
