About the Datejust 31 278271
The Rolex Datejust 31 278271 is a reference in the Rolex Datejust collection. It is in production. From our catalog: a 31 mm case in Everose Rolesor (steel & Everose gold); bezel: Fluted, 18k Everose gold; movement: Calibre 2236. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
The range for the 278271 rests on 14 sold results (12 eBay sales and 2 auction results), and the sales we list run from December 2023 to September 2026. February 2024 saw the most activity, 3 sales in a single month. Auction results here come from Grailzee. The label is moderate confidence, which suits a reference with a fair, not deep, run of sales. The newest sale is 41 days old. There were too few sales in the last 90 days for a volatility label. A fair price for the 278271 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.
Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 15.6% against the year before. Its sales history in our records starts in December 2023, too recent for a long-run comparison yet.
Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 13% less; that discount comes from 131 watch-only results in the same family. Of the 28 sales listed, 7 came as a full set, 0 as the watch alone and 0 with part of the set; 3 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Listed sales ran from about 64% below the worth-about figure (February 24, 2025, on eBay, set not stated) to about 21% above the worth-about figure (February 24, 2026, on eBay, set not stated), which is the spread a seller should expect.
