Datejust 31 Everose Domed / President / Pink

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 178245f-0019 stands apart for its distinctive interplay of materials and color, blending the warm hue of Everose gold with a dial that evokes the soft, velvety tone of pink. The case, crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 18ct Everose gold, exudes a refined patina that deepens over time, while the pink dial—achieved through a meticulous ceramic process—offers a striking contrast to the rose-gold bezel and hands. The design retains the Datejust’s enduring silhouette, with a rounded case and the signature President bracelet, its five-link construction a hallmark of the collection’s timeless elegance. The sapphire crystal, paired with a closed case back, ensures durability without compromising the watch’s classic profile. At its core, the 2235 automatic movement delivers the precision and reliability that define Rolex’s engineering legacy, with a 70-hour power reserve and a date display that aligns seamlessly with the Datejust’s heritage as a symbol of enduring craftsmanship. This model, while modern in its 31mm proportions, honors the collection’s mid-20th-century roots, when the Datejust first introduced the date complication to the wristwatch world. It is a piece suited for those who seek a balance between heritage and contemporary wearability, its underst

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-0019 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.
