The White Rolesor Aesthetic: A Radiant Brilliance
The Reference 278344 features White Rolesor, a prestigious combination of Oystersteel and 18ct white gold. In this reference, the 18ct white gold is utilized for the stunning diamond-set bezel, providing a noble and reflective backdrop for the gemstones. The rest of the case and the bracelet are crafted from high-performance Oystersteel, ensuring exceptional durability and a lasting luster. This creates a sophisticated monochromatic look that is both understated and undeniably luxurious, making it a favorite for those who appreciate the crisp, clean aesthetic of white metal.
Exquisite Gem-Setting and Design
What distinguishes the 278344 from standard models is its brilliant-cut diamond-set bezel. Each diamond is carefully selected and set by hand into the 18ct white gold bezel to ensure maximum fire and brilliance. This 31mm mid-size case is designed to be the perfect companion for a variety of wrist sizes, offering a presence that is noticeable without being overbearing. The integration of high-grade steel and precious gold ensures that the watch is as durable as it is beautiful, suitable for daily wear while remaining elegant enough for formal occasions.
The Heart of the Watch: Calibre 2236
Technological excellence is at the core of the Datejust 278344. It is powered by the Calibre 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement is equipped with the Syloxi hairspring in silicon, which is patented and provides a high level of chronometric performance. It is insensitive to magnetic fields and remains stable in the face of temperature variations. Like all Rolex watches, the 278344 is a Superlative Chronometer, having undergone rigorous testing to guarantee a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.
Dial and Bracelet Configurations
The 278344 offers a diverse palette of dial options that complement the cool tones of the White Rolesor. Popular choices include the mint green dial, which provides a fresh and contemporary look, as well as bright blue, silver, and mother-of-pearl. Many of these dials are available with diamond hour markers, further elevating the gem-set theme of the bezel. Collectors can choose between the classic three-link Oyster bracelet for a sporty feel or the five-link Jubilee bracelet for a more jewelry-like appearance. At Diamond Source NYC, we assist our clients in procuring the specific combination that best suits their collection, ensuring a seamless acquisition process in the New York market.
