Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed / Jubilee / Pink Floral

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its Rolesor Everose iteration, embodies a quiet mastery of proportion and material harmony. The 31mm case, a blend of rose gold and stainless steel, frames a dial that defies convention with its unadorned pink hue—a color both restrained and deliberate, evoking the subtle warmth of a sunset without overt flourish. The absence of traditional indexes and the use of stick hands amplify the dial’s minimalist character, allowing the craftsmanship of the domed sapphire crystal and the polished lugs to take center stage. This particular execution of the Datejust, first introduced in the 1940s as a symbol of timeless elegance, retains its core identity while embracing a modern sensibility through its choice of materials and color. At its heart lies the Caliber 2235, an automatic movement renowned for its precision and reliability, its performance underscored by the date complication’s seamless integration into the design. The Jubilee bracelet, with its five-link construction and pink gold accents, complements the case’s dual-metal composition, ensuring a balance between formality and wearability. The closed case back, a nod to the Datejust’s heritage of understated luxury, reinforces the watch’s focus on enduring quality over ostentation. This timepiece is for the discerning individual who values subtlety as much as heritage, whose presence is marked not by excess but by the quiet confidence of a well-considered choice. It suits moments that demand refinement—whether in the boardroom, at a gala, or simply as a companion to a well-tailored suit.

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.

178241-0069 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.

+ 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.
