A 31mm Rolex Datejust 178243 from 2012, in steel and 18ct yellow gold, with a factory champagne baton dial, the smooth domed gold bezel and a two-tone Oyster bracelet. It comes with its box and papers.
The 178243 is the two-tone Datejust 31 with a smooth domed bezel instead of the fluted one, with a sapphire crystal, quickset date and the self-winding calibre 2235. With baton markers, a plain bezel and the Oyster bracelet, it is the most understated two-tone Datejust 31: clean, modern and easy to wear every day.
Our watchmakers have serviced and pressure tested it in our Birmingham atelier and graded it excellent throughout. It is currently sized for a wrist of about 16.5cm, and we can source extra links at additional cost if you need more length.
