Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed / Jubilee / Pink Roman

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its Rolesor configuration of 18ct rose gold and stainless steel, embodies the enduring balance of sophistication and wearability that defines the collection. The 178241-0064 variant distinguishes itself with a dial that evokes warmth and depth, its pink sunburst finish catching light in subtle gradations that shift with the angle of observation. Roman numerals, rendered in a contrasting tone, lend a classical elegance to the dial, while the stick hands provide a clean, legible counterpoint. The Domed caseback, a signature feature of the Datejust lineage since 1945, adds a tactile dimension to the watch’s profile, reinforcing its identity as a piece that bridges tradition and modernity. The Jubilee bracelet, with its five-link design, ensures a secure yet comfortable fit, a hallmark of Rolex’s commitment to both aesthetics and functionality. At its core, the 178241-0064 is powered by the Calibre 2235, an automatic movement that combines precision engineering with reliability. Its date display, positioned at the 6 o’clock mark, is a subtle yet practical detail that underscores the watch’s everyday utility without compromising its refined character. The 100-meter water resistance and sapphire crystal further attest to Rolex’s mastery of durability, ensuring the piece remains as functional as it is striking. This watch is for those who seek a timepiece that speaks in quiet confidence—a companion for moments of significance, whether in formal settings or as a discreet testament to personal achievement. Its understated opulence makes it a natural heir to the Datejust’s legacy, a collection that has long represented the pinnacle of accessible luxury.

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.

178241-0064 is one of 30 executions of the 178241 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a pink sunburst 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.
