The Elegance of Everose Rolesor
The Reference 178241 features Rolex's signature Everose Rolesor—a sophisticated marriage of Oystersteel and 18k Everose gold. While the middle case is crafted from high-performance 904L steel, the bezel, winding crown, and center links of the bracelet are forged in 18k Everose gold. This proprietary rose gold alloy, developed by Rolex, includes a touch of platinum to ensure its unique pink hue never fades, even after years of exposure to the elements.
The Iconic Domed Bezel
Unlike its diamond-set or fluted counterparts, the 178241 is often equipped with a smooth, domed bezel. This design choice offers a more contemporary and understated look, allowing the warm contrast of the Everose gold to take center stage. The high-polish finish of the bezel creates a seamless transition to the sapphire crystal, emphasizing the clean lines of the 31mm Oyster case and making it a versatile choice for both professional and casual attire.
Precision Performance: Calibre 2235
At the heart of the 178241 is the Calibre 2235, a self-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Known for its exceptional accuracy, it has passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests with flying colors. The movement features a bidirectional self-winding system and a rapid-setting date, providing the wearer with a high-precision instrument that is as reliable as it is beautiful.
Versatility in Bracelet and Dial Options
The 31mm diameter of the 178241 is the "mid-size" favorite, offering a presence that is substantial yet feminine. This reference is typically paired with either the robust Oyster bracelet or the elegant Jubilee bracelet, both featuring the Everose Rolesor two-tone finish. With a wide array of dial colors and index styles—including floral motifs or classic Roman numerals—the 178241 remains one of the most customizable and adaptable references in the modern Rolex catalog.
