Datejust 31 Rolesor Everose Domed Diamond / Jubilee / White Diamond

About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 Reference 178341-0044 stands apart within the collection’s storied lineage through its harmonious fusion of precious metals and meticulous craftsmanship. The Rolesor construction—rose gold paired with stainless steel—exudes a refined duality, while the domed diamond-set indexes on the white dial add a subtle yet striking contrast to the case’s polished surfaces. The Jubilee bracelet, with its five-link design, complements the watch’s balanced proportions, ensuring both comfort and timeless elegance. The white dial, unadorned save for the gem-set markers and sleek stick hands, embodies the Datejust’s enduring aesthetic since its introduction in 1945: a marriage of simplicity and sophistication that transcends trends. At its core, the watch is driven by the Caliber 2235, an automatic movement with a date display and a Parachrom balance spring, ensuring precision and resilience against magnetic interference. The sapphire crystal, paired with a closed caseback, protects the intricate mechanics while maintaining the watch’s clean, unbroken silhouette. The 31mm case, though modest in size, is proportioned with the precision of decades of horological refinement, making it equally at home on the wrist of a seasoned collector or a discerning first-time buyer. This watch is for those who seek distinction without ostentation, a piece that commands respect through its quiet authority. It suits occasions where presence matters—boardrooms, soirées, or moments of personal significance—worn as a testament to legacy, craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of someone who values enduring quality.

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.

178341-0044 is one of 34 executions of the 178341 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a white dial and a rose gold, stainless steel case.

+ 25 more variants in this family.

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.
