Diamond Source NYC is proud to showcase the Rolex Datejust 31 Reference 178245, a timepiece that represents the height of luxury in the mid-size category. Unlike two-tone models, the 178245 is crafted entirely from Rolex’s proprietary 18k Everose gold. At our showroom in the heart of the New York Diamond District, we offer a curated selection of these solid gold masterpieces, providing a sophisticated environment for collectors to acquire a watch that combines horological excellence with the lasting value of precious metal.
The Radiance of 18k Everose Gold
The Reference 178245 is distinguished by its full Everose gold composition. Developed and patented by Rolex, Everose is a unique pink gold alloy that includes a touch of platinum to ensure its warm hue never loses its luster. Every component of the case and bracelet on the 178245 is cast in Rolex's own foundry, resulting in a consistent, high-quality finish that radiates a contemporary yet timeless glow on the wrist.
Minimalist Elegance with the Domed Bezel
The aesthetic of the 178245 is defined by its polished, domed bezel. While gold Rolex watches are often associated with fluted bezels, the smooth domed bezel of the 178245 offers a refined and understated elegance. This choice of bezel emphasizes the natural beauty of the Everose gold and provides a soft, rounded profile that transitions seamlessly into the sapphire crystal, making it a versatile choice for both formal attire and elevated casual wear.
Internal Precision: The Calibre 2235
Beneath the solid gold exterior lies the Perpetual Calibre 2235. This movement is celebrated for its stability and precision, having earned the Superlative Chronometer certification. The Calibre 2235 features a bidirectional self-winding system via a Perpetual rotor and a high-performance hairspring that ensures the watch remains accurate even when subjected to the minor shocks and vibrations of daily life. For the owner of a 178245, this means a watch that is as reliable as it is beautiful.
Exquisite Bracelet Configurations
The Reference 178245 is typically paired with the iconic President bracelet or the classic Oyster bracelet, both executed entirely in solid 18k Everose gold. The President bracelet, with its semi-circular three-piece links, is the ultimate mark of prestige, while the Oyster bracelet offers a bolder, more architectural look. Regardless of the choice, the 31mm case diameter ensures that the 178245 remains comfortable and perfectly proportioned, making a bold statement without overwhelming the wrist.
