Presented in a two-tone Everose Rolesor combination, it is one of the most desirable models on the pre-owned market, appreciated for its versatile configuration.
Below are the key features that make the Rolex Datejust 178271 stand out:
Everose Rolesor Construction
The 178271 is crafted from a combination of Oystersteel and 18ct Everose gold, giving the watch the perfect balance of durability and rich elegance. The warm, modern hue allows a seamless transition between formal and casual wear without sacrificing the robustness needed for daily wear. The watch comes in a 31mm case fitted with the signature 18ct rose gold fluted bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Dial Variations
The Rolex 178271 is known for its elegant dial options, including pink, chocolate, white, or black, commonly found with Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, luminous indices, concentric patterns, and diamond accents. It features the signature date display along with the Cyclops magnifier at 3 o’clock.
Bracelet Options
The 178271 is typically paired with either a sporty three-piece link Oyster bracelet or the dressy five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, made of steel and Everose gold. It comes complete with an Easylink comfort extension.
Calibre 2235 Movement
Powered by the reliable Calibre 2235, the Rolex 178271 provides approximately 48-55 hours of power reserve and 100m water resistance. This COSC-certified movement ensures smooth everyday performance and reliable precision.
Investment Potential Of Rolex Datejust 178271
The Rolex Datejust 178271 is widely regarded as a luxury watch that strikes the ideal balance between luxury, usability, and long-term value retention. While not considered a high-growth investment like Rolex’s sports models, the 178271 does have several characteristics that support its investment potential.
For instance, as a Rolex model that benefits from consistent demand and precious metal construction, the Datejust 178271 maintains relatively stable pricing compared to many other luxury watches. Additionally, its discontinued status serves as a major contributor to its ability to retain value.
Upon its discontinuation in 2018, the ref. 178271 became more attractive to collectors as a discontinued Rolex reference with a limited or fixed supply. This, in turn, supports its long-term price stability and may even contribute to its gradual appreciation in value over time.
As of 2026, certified pre-owned Rolex Datejust 178271 models typically range from £7000 to £13000, depending on condition, age, specific configuration, and the presence of the original box and papers. Well-preserved examples with complete documentation achieve the highest resale values over those in poor condition.
Overall, the Rolex Datejust 178271 is a highly liquid wearable investment that offers excellent long-term value when kept in good condition.
