The Rolex Datejust 31, reference 78240, presents the hallmarks of this storied collection in a 31 mm round Oyster case crafted from stainless steel. The silver-tone dial is dressed with index hour markers and luminescent silver-toned hands, delivering clear legibility across the dial's clean, uncluttered layout. A date function sits alongside the standard hour, minute, and second display, rounding out the watch's practical capabilities.
A screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal speak to the watch's robust construction, while the stainless steel bracelet fastens with a fold clasp for a secure, comfortable fit. The automatic Swiss-made movement powers the watch reliably, and the fixed bezel frames the dial with understated refinement suited to everyday wear.
This pre-owned example originates from approximately 2000–2001 and is offered without original box or papers. It wears as a versatile companion equally at home in professional surroundings or at more formal occasions, carrying with it the measured character of an early-2000s Rolex Datejust.
