A primary reason behind Datejust’s mammoth popularity over the years is how amazingly versatile this watch is. Rolex has transformed and modernised the Datejust umpteen times for various editions, including the evolution of the case sizes, modifications on the dial, and design potentialities of the bracelet. However, irrespective of any reformation, Datejust has always been the most high-octane everyday timepiece. Bringing you a textbook example of the aforesaid – Rolex Datejust 31 178271.

A ladies’ watch, this Ref. 178271 does not feel overpowering with an appropriate size of 31 mm, allowing it to become one with the wearer’s wrist. In composition, the watch is really feminine and recognisable with Rolex’s signature Rolesor body – a combination of Oystersteel and rose gold, the iconic fluted bezel, and the Oyster bracelet. A melange of white and gold hues on the dial create a graceful aesthetic. Applied Roman numeral hour markers residing with tranquillity against the date aperture and the crown insignia at 12 o’clock enhance the legibility of the dial.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
