Notes: The reference 178274 is a masterclass in mid-size elegance, offering a 31mm profile that bridges the gap between the traditional Lady-Datejust and the larger 36mm models.

Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2018 example has been exceptionally well-preserved. The polished White Rolesor surfaces remain mirror-bright with only negligible surface hairlines consistent with light, careful use.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The glossy white dial with raised 18K white gold Roman numerals is pristine. The 18K white gold hands are flawless, and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal—complete with the iconic Cyclops magnification lens—is perfect.
Case & Bezel: The 31mm Oystersteel case is sharp and retains its original factory contours. The 18K white gold fluted bezel is crisp and catches the light beautifully, showing no signs of significant wear or softening of the fluting.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: The Jubilee bracelet is in excellent condition with minimal stretch. It features the concealed folding Crownclasp, which provides a seamless look across the wrist and operates with factory-tight precision.

Why the 178274 White Roman is Special
The Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 178274 represents a "sweet spot" in the Rolex catalog. For many, the 31mm size provides enough wrist presence to feel substantial while maintaining the grace of a traditional ladies' timepiece. The White Roman dial is a particular favorite for its "porcelain" aesthetic; it offers a clean, architectural look that is more formal than stick markers but remains incredibly easy to read.
Technically, the 178274 is powered by the Calibre 2235, a movement known in the industry as one of the most reliable calibres Rolex has ever produced for its smaller watches. This 2018 set is a "neo-vintage" bridge, featuring the classic concealed Crownclasp—a feature that many collectors prefer over the newer versions for its elegant, "bracelet-first" appearance. As a complete set in excellent condition, this watch is a turn-key classic that will never go out of style.
