Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed / Oyster / White Diamond

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 178241-0010 stands apart within the collection’s lineage for its refined interplay of materials and precision engineering. The domed case, crafted from a blend of rose gold and stainless steel, embodies the Rolesor tradition—a hallmark of Rolex’s commitment to harmonizing durability with luxury. The white dial, unadorned yet commanding, serves as a canvas for the gem-set indexes, their subtle sparkle enhancing the watch’s understated elegance. Stick hands, sharp and legible, trace the dial’s symmetry with quiet authority, while the sapphire crystal ensures clarity and resilience. This iteration of the Datejust 31, introduced in the early 2020s, reflects a modern reinterpretation of the collection’s enduring design, first conceived in 1945 as a symbol of timeless sophistication. At its core lies the Caliber 2235, an automatic movement celebrated for its reliability and the inclusion of a chronometer certification, a testament to Rolex’s mastery of in-house innovation. The caseback, closed and unbroken, reinforces the watch’s robustness, while the 100-meter water resistance makes it as practical as it is refined. The 31mm diameter strikes a balance between presence and discretion, ideal for those who value subtlety without compromise. This watch is for the discerning individual who seeks a companion for both formal occasions and the quiet moments of everyday life. It speaks to those who recognize that true luxury lies not in ostentation, but in the quiet confidence of a timepiece that transcends trends.

In Context

At 31 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

178241-0010 is one of 30 executions of the 178241 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a white dial and a rose gold, stainless steel case.

+ 21 more variants in this family.

The 2235 is the small Rolex automatic of the six-digit generation, a 20 mm movement with a date. It carried the Datejust 31 and the 26 mm Lady-Datejust from around 2000 until the 2236 replaced it. It powers 733 watches in this library. It has 31 jewels, a 48-hour reserve and a beat of 28,800 vph, and every one is a COSC chronometer. It is the same architecture as the [2236](/calibers/rolex-2236) that followed, without the silicon Syloxi hairspring and with seven hours less reserve; the [2236 piece](/blog/the-rolex-2236-the-most-common-movement-in-this-library) explains what changed. The library finds it almost entirely in the [Datejust 31](/brands/rolex/datejust-31): 682 references, the 1782xx generation, whose 45 base references and hundreds of dial variants make that collection the largest here. The 26 mm [Lady-Datejust](/brands/rolex/lady-datejust) of the 1791xx generation accounts for 29, the [Pearlmaster](/brands/rolex/pearlmaster) 29 mm and 34 mm for 19, and the 35 mm Yacht-Master for 3. A six-digit Datejust 31 reference is a 2235; the seven-digit one is a 2236, as the [reference-number guide](/blog/how-to-read-a-watch-reference-number) explains. The 2231 was its no-date sibling in the Oyster Perpetual, and the [3135](/calibers/rolex-3135) its counterpart in the 36 mm cases.

732 other watches in the library run the Rolex 2235.
