Rolex Datejust 31mm Goldust Mother of Pearl - Ref. 178248

For sale is a Rolex Datejust Ref. 178248 in 31mm, crafted entirely from solid 18k yellow gold and fitted with the prestigious Presidential bracelet.

This 2002 example features the updated solid bracelet links, giving the watch a heavier, more substantial feel on the wrist compared to earlier generations.

The standout feature of this piece is its extraordinary gold mother-of-pearl dial, often referred to as “gold dust” for its shimmering, naturally textured surface. The dial captures light beautifully with its organic, almost marbled pattern, giving every angle a unique appearance.

Set against this striking backdrop are applied Arabic numerals in polished gold, complemented by brilliant diamonds at the 6 and 9 o’clock positions, adding an elegant sparkle without overwhelming the dial’s natural beauty. The date aperture remains at 3 o’clock, magnified by Rolex’s iconic Cyclops lens.

Encasing the dial is a 31mm Oyster case in 18k yellow gold, paired with the President bracelet, a hallmark of Rolex luxury, offering both comfort and prestige.

The watch is powered by the automatic Rolex Caliber 2235, known for its precision and reliability.

This example is in excellent condition, showcasing both timeless elegance and collectability.
