About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31, in its 2020 iteration with a fluted white gold bezel and white dial, embodies the quiet authority of a timepiece that has defined elegance for generations. A modern reinterpretation of the Datejust collection, which first debuted in 1945 as the first self-winding chronometer wristwatch with a date display, this reference retains the collection’s signature balance of precision and refinement. The stainless steel case, adorned with a fluted white gold bezel, frames a dial that is both minimalist and deliberate—its white gloss finish paired with Roman numeral indexes and stick hands evokes a timeless aesthetic, unburdened by excess. The Oyster case, sealed with a sapphire crystal and a closed back, ensures durability without compromising the watch’s understated presence. At its core, the Datejust 31 is powered by Rolex’s in-house automatic caliber 2236, a movement celebrated for its reliability, craftsmanship, and the hallmark smoothness of its sweeping seconds hand. The 31mm diameter, a subtle nod to contemporary preferences while honoring the Datejust’s heritage, ensures the watch sits comfortably on the wrist,
