Since the reintroduction of the ombré design to the brand’s catalogue in 2019, it is the first time that such a dial has taken on this fiery hue. Obtained as of that year via the process of PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), and originally reserved for the Day-Date, ombré dials are distinctive for their concentric gradient, progressing from a coloured centre to a deep black around the edge.

On the watch presented, the red ombré dial is adorned with ten diamond-set hour markers and showcased by a bezel set with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds, paired with a President bracelet with concealed Crownclasp.

The Datejust 31 is equipped with calibre 2236, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking technology, enabling it to display the date as well as the hours, minutes and seconds.

The Datejust is the archetype of the classic watch according to Rolex, thanks to functions and aesthetics that never go out of fashion. At its launch in 1945, it was the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock on the dial and included all the major innovations that Rolex had brought to the modern wristwatch of the day. This elegant timepiece has spanned eras, retaining the enduring codes that make it so instantly recognizable, yet continually evolving to take on the brand’s latest technical and aesthetic developments.

The Datejust 31 is equipped with calibre 2236, a movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. A distillation of technology, this self-winding mechanical movement delivers outstanding performance, particularly in terms of precision, power reserve, convenience and reliability.

Calibre 2236 is equipped with a self-winding system via a Perpetual rotor and offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours.

The new version of the Datejust 31, crafted in 18 ct yellow gold, is fitted on a President bracelet. Created specially for the launch of the prestigious Oyster Perpetual Day‑Date in 1956, this three-piece link bracelet, made only from 18 ct gold or 950 platinum, is still reserved exclusively for the Day‑Date and precious metal versions of the Datejust.

The President bracelet is furnished with an elegant, concealed folding Crownclasp and includes patented ceramic inserts – designed by Rolex – inside the links to enhance its flexibility on the wrist and its longevity.
