Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed Diamond / Jubilee / MOP

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its 178341-0004 iteration, marries the brand’s enduring commitment to refinement with a contemporary elegance that feels both timeless and distinct. The dial, a luminous white mother of pearl, is framed by gem-set indexes that catch light with quiet precision, while the stick hands trace their path with understated clarity. Encased in Rolesor—a harmonious blend of Everose gold and stainless steel—the watch exudes a warmth that complements its polished, domed crystal and the subtle curvature of its case. The Jubilee bracelet, a hallmark of the Datejust collection since its 1945 debut, adds a layer of sophistication through its fluid, five-link design, ensuring both comfort and a signature aesthetic that has become synonymous with the brand’s legacy. At its core, the watch is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 2235, an automatic movement distinguished by its Parachrom blue balance spring and a date display that operates with seamless accuracy. The sapphire crystal, paired with a closed case back, reinforces the watch’s durability without compromising its visual allure. This reference, while rooted in the Datejust’s storied heritage of combining accessibility with luxury, introduces a refined palette that elevates its presence on the wrist. Suited for those who value subtlety over ostentation, the 178341-0004 is a testament to the enduring appeal of a watch that balances heritage with modernity. It thrives in the quiet moments as much as in the grandest of occasions, offering a presence that is never intrusive, yet always unmistakably Rolex.

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.

178341-0004 is one of 34 executions of the 178341 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a white dial.

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.
