The Datejust has anchored the Rolex catalogue since 1945, when it debuted as the first self-winding wristwatch to display the date through a window, a template the industry would follow for decades. The 31mm variant carries that legacy in a mid-size format, poised between the Lady-Datejust and the classic 36mm. This example unites stainless steel with rose gold in the pairing Rolex calls Rolesor, a combination the brand made entirely its own, balancing everyday durability with precious-metal warmth.

The 31mm Oyster case pairs a stainless steel middle with a fluted rose gold bezel and winding crown, worn on the five-link Jubilee bracelet introduced in 1945. A silver dial fills the centre, its sunray finish catching the light beneath ten brilliant-cut diamond hour markers set in white gold collets. The date sits at three o’clock under the signature Cyclops lens, while rose gold hands sweep above, driven by a self-winding movement.
