2000 Rolex Datejust 31 Ref. 78240 – Blue Dial, Pristine Condition, Original Rolex Sticker

Elegant. Robust. Timeless. Versatile. Perfect.
This superb Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 in steel, a reference 78240 produced (serial number P31xxxx) in 2000, features a smooth steel bezel, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, an exceptionally reliable and accurate automatic movement, and an elegant, understated and desirable blue dial with white-gold baton markers.
Launched in 1945, the Datejust is arguably the most emblematic watch in modern horology. The reference 78240 is its “mid-size” 31 mm version, produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, powered by the automatic caliber 2235 certified “superlative chronometer” and originally fitted with a steel Oyster bracelet ref. 78350/17.
In pristine aesthetic and mechanical condition, and entirely original down to the bracelet clasp code, this example concentrates Rolex’s very DNA: clean lines, purity and elegance, durability, mechanical reliability, and exemplary comfort on the wrist. A “must-have”, perfect to wear daily in both casual and formal settings, equally suited to both men’s and women’s wrists.

This Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31 is preserved in pristine overall condition.
The stainless steel case retains its original proportions and finishings, alternating between brushed/satin surfaces and mirror-polished sides. Twenty-six years after leaving the factory, the original green Rolex sticker, marked with the watch’s reference (78240), is still present on the caseback!
The blue dial with applied baton markers is flawless.
The self-winding mechanical movement, Rolex caliber 2235 certified “superlative chronometer”, was fully serviced before the watch went on sale by one of our experienced watchmakers and runs within the tightest tolerances.
The original steel Oyster bracelet, reference 78350/17, end links 551 B, clasp code AB5 (produced in May 2000) is likewise very well preserved, with no stretch. The Rolex crown stamped on the clasp is crisp.
A Datejust 31 mm of exemplary quality, with the most sought-after dial variant.
