Datejust 31 Everose Domed / President / Pink Computer

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 Everose, with its refined interplay of materials and timeless design, stands as a testament to the brand’s mastery of balancing tradition with contemporary elegance. This particular iteration, distinguished by its domed case and President bracelet, marries the enduring allure of Everose gold—a proprietary alloy that deepens in hue over time—with a dial that evokes the warmth of a sunlit interior. The pink dial, subtly textured and framed by gem-set indexes, exudes quiet sophistication, while the stick hands trace their lineage to the Datejust’s original 1945 design, a model that redefined the modern dress watch. The domed sapphire crystal, paired with a closed caseback, reinforces the watch’s robust yet understated character, ensuring it remains unobtrusive in both form and function. At its core, the Datejust 31 houses the Caliber 2235, an automatic movement celebrated for its precision, reliability, and the inclusion of a date display that aligns seamlessly with the watch’s minimalist aesthetic. The 31mm case, a size that has become synonymous with the collection’s appeal to those who value discretion, is further enhanced by the President bracelet’s polished links, which offer both comfort and a sense of quiet opulence. This watch is for the individual who seeks a companion that transcends trends, a piece that speaks through restraint and craftsmanship. It suits the boardroom, the evening gala, or the quiet moments between them—where presence matters, but ostentation does not.

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.

178245f-0005 is one of 17 executions of the 178245f base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a pink dial and a rose gold 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.
