About This Watch

The Rolex Datejust 31 in white gold, with its gem-set bezel and aubergine dial, stands as a masterclass in understated elegance, blending the brand’s storied heritage with contemporary refinement. Introduced in 2020 as part of the Datejust collection—a lineage first established in 1945 as a symbol of precision and sophistication—this reference marries classic design with modern craftsmanship. The dial’s deep aubergine hue, finished in a sunburst pattern, exudes a quiet intensity, while the Roman numerals and stick hands lend a timeless clarity to the dial’s architecture. Encased in 18ct white gold, the watch’s bezel is adorned with meticulously set gemstones, adding a discreet touch of opulence without overwhelming the eye. The sapphire crystal, paired with a closed case back, ensures both durability and a seamless focus on the watch’s aesthetic harmony. At its heart lies the Caliber 2236, an automatic movement with a 2880-vibrations-per-hour frequency and a 48-hour power reserve, reflecting Rolex’s unwavering commitment to mechanical excellence. The 31mm case, paired with a bespoke bracelet, strikes a balance between proportion and presence, making it as comfortable as it is distinguished. This watch is for those who value subtlety over ostentation, seeking a timepiece that speaks to legacy and individuality. It suits formal occasions with quiet authority, yet its enduring design ensures it remains as relevant in the boardroom as it is on the wrist of a connoisseur who appreciates the quiet confidence of a well-crafted watch.

This self-winding mechanical movement with date display is entirely manufactured by Rolex and inaugurates a new generation of movements. Its design and quality manufacture ensure peerless precision and reliability. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 2236 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests.
