Datejust 31 Everose Domed / President / Pink Diamond

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its 178245f-0010 iteration, stands as a masterclass in restrained opulence, blending the brand’s enduring legacy with contemporary refinement. The dial’s soft, velvety pink hue—achieved through a proprietary process that ensures depth and longevity—serves as a canvas for the gem-set indexes, each stone precisely placed to catch light with subtle brilliance. The stick hands, paired with the domed sapphire crystal, evoke a timeless elegance, while the Everose 18ct gold case exudes a warm, almost imperceptible patina that only intensifies with wear. This reference, part of the Datejust collection’s storied lineage since 1945, marries the collection’s signature balance of accessibility and prestige with a touch of exclusivity, as evidenced by the President bracelet’s polished, integrated design. At its heart lies the Caliber 2235, a self-winding movement that combines precision engineering with the quiet reliability Rolex has long been synonymous with. Its date function, housed within the cyclops lens, operates with the seamless precision expected of the brand, while the 100-meter water resistance ensures practicality without compromising the watch’s svelte profile. The 31mm case diameter, paired with a lug width that feels both modern and familiar, caters to those who seek a presence that is neither ostentatious nor understated. This watch is for the discerning individual who values heritage as much as innovation, whose presence demands recognition without declaration. It suits occasions where

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-0010 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.
