About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 178341-0023 exemplifies the brand’s mastery of blending tradition with modern refinement, distinguished by its Rolesor construction—rose gold and stainless steel united in a harmonious balance of warmth and resilience. The dial, a soft yet striking shade of pink, evokes a sense of quiet sophistication, framed by stick indexes and hands that reflect the clean, legible aesthetic central to the Datejust collection since its 1945 debut. The domed sapphire crystal enhances the dial’s depth, while the Jubilee bracelet, with its gently curved five-link design, offers both comfort and a timeless silhouette. This iteration, with its Everose gold case and subtle diamond-like finish on the bezel, nods to the collection’s heritage of elegant understatement, reimagined for

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.

178341-0023 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.
