Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed / Jubilee / Pink Computer

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its Rolesor Everose iteration, embodies a refined synthesis of tradition and innovation, distinguishing itself through its harmonious blend of rose gold and stainless steel. The 31mm case, a contemporary reinterpretation of the Datejust’s enduring silhouette, is framed by a domed sapphire crystal that enhances legibility while preserving the watch’s classic proportions. At its heart lies a dial of deep, rich pink—a hue that evokes both warmth and restraint—accentuated by gem-set indexes that add subtle sophistication without overshadowing the dial’s understated elegance. The stick hands, paired with the Jubilee bracelet’s gentle curvature, underscore the collection’s legacy as a symbol of timeless design since its introduction in 1945. Powering this timepiece is Rolex’s in-house Caliber 2235, an automatic movement celebrated for its precision, reliability, and the brand’s signature Parachrom blue balance spring, which ensures resilience against shocks and magnetic interference. The closed caseback, a deliberate choice that emphasizes the watch’s polished exterior, invites focus on the interplay of materials and the subtle interplay of light across the pink dial. This watch is for those who value discretion as much as craftsmanship, seeking a piece that transcends trends while honoring the Datejust’s storied heritage. It is equally at home in the quiet precision of daily life or the quiet grandeur of a formal occasion, a testament to the enduring appeal of a design that has defined luxury watchmaking for generations.

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.

178241-0044 is one of 30 executions of the 178241 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a pink dial and a rose gold, stainless steel case.

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.
