Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed Diamond / Jubilee / Chocolate Roman

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 Reference 178341-0009 stands apart for its seamless fusion of enduring design and refined materiality, embodying the quiet confidence of a timepiece that transcends trends. The dial, a deep pink hue evoking the warmth of aged leather, is framed by polished rose gold and stainless steel indexes shaped into elegant Roman numerals, their contrast sharpened by the subtle sheen of the domed sapphire crystal. The stick hands, slender and precise, trace the dial’s surface with understated clarity, while the Jubilee bracelet—its five-link construction a hallmark of the Datejust lineage—adds a tactile richness that balances the watch’s formal elegance with approachable wearability. At 31mm in diameter, its proportions are tailored for those who favor a discreet presence without sacrificing the brand’s iconic silhouette. Rooted in the Datejust collection’s legacy of marrying innovation with tradition since 1945, this reference benefits from the in-house Caliber 2235, a self-winding movement with a 70-hour power reserve and a Parachrom blue balance spring that ensures resilience against shocks and magnetic interference. The caseback, sealed with a closed design, reinforces the watch’s commitment to precision and durability. Its everose gold, a proprietary alloy blending rose gold with a touch of platinum, lends a unique patina that deepens over time, reflecting the passage of years rather than the ticking of minutes. This watch is for the discerning individual who values craftsmanship as much as legacy, suited to

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.

178341-0009 is one of 34 executions of the 178341 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a pink 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.
