Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Fluted / Jubilee / Silver Diamond

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its Rolesor configuration of 18k Everose gold and stainless steel, embodies a refined balance of tradition and modernity. This specific iteration, distinguished by its silver dial and diamond-set indexes, merges the timeless elegance of the Datejust collection with contemporary sophistication. The fluted bezel, a hallmark of Rolex’s design language since the 1940s, frames the dial with subtle authority, while the stick hands and gem-set hour markers lend a quiet opulence that complements the case’s polished curves. The Jubilee bracelet, with its five-link design, ensures a secure yet comfortable fit, reinforcing the Datejust’s reputation as a versatile icon of understated luxury. At its core, the watch is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 2235, an automatic movement renowned for its precision, reliability, and in-house craftsmanship. The 31mm case, a modern reinterpretation of the Datejust’s classic proportions, is both proportionally harmonious and technically advanced, with a water resistance rating of 100 meters. The use of Everose gold—a proprietary alloy developed by Rolex to resist discoloration—underscores the brand’s commitment to enduring quality. This watch is for the discerning individual who values heritage without sacrificing contemporary relevance, whether for a formal occasion or as a daily companion. It speaks to those who recognize that true luxury lies not in excess, but in the meticulous execution of detail and the quiet confidence of a timepiece that needs no introduction.

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.

178271-0030 is one of 31 executions of the 178271 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver 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.
