Rolex Datejust 178246

Reference 178246 is the solid platinum, smooth-bezel model from the 31mm ‘Mid-Size’ Datejust 178xxx series, produced from c. 2006 into the late 2010s. Its technical specification denotes a case and President bracelet constructed entirely from solid 950 platinum (6), fitted with a smooth, domed bezel (24 code). The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 2235. Its significance lies in its status as the ultimate ‘stealth wealth’ model in the modern 31mm size, often paired with an exclusive ice-blue dial, a color treatment Rolex reserves for its platinum timepieces.
