About the Rolex Datejust 81315

The Rolex Datejust 81315 is the Pearlmaster 34 in solid 18k Everose gold, the ultra-luxe jewelry-watch tier of the Rolex Datejust family. The Pearlmaster collection was introduced in 1992 as Rolex's most prestigious Datejust expression, crafted exclusively in solid precious metals (no steel content) and always embellished with factory-set diamonds. At WatchGuys, we carry pre-owned and unworn Rolex Datejust 81315 examples across the full range of factory dial configurations and dial styles. The 81315 sits above the Everose Rolesor diamond-bezel Rolex Datejust 278381RBR and the standard fluted Rolex Datejust 278271 in the broader Rolex Datejust hierarchy. Note that Rolex removed the Pearlmaster line from its current catalog in 2022, making the 81315 available exclusively through pre-owned and unworn channels.

Rolex Datejust 81315 Specifications

The 81315 measures 34mm in diameter and is built entirely from solid 18k Everose gold, with no steel content anywhere in the watch. The case middle, caseback, crown, bezel, and the full Pearlmaster bracelet are all forged from Rolex's proprietary Everose gold alloy, which includes a small percentage of platinum to lock in the warm pink tone and prevent the color shift that affects most standard rose gold over time. The bezel is set with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds in individual Everose gold settings, positioned above each hour marker around the circumference. The case is fitted with the signature Twinlock screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with the Cyclops lens over the date at 3 o'clock. Inside is the Caliber 2235, a Superlative Chronometer movement with a 48-hour power reserve, the same robust movement family used in the previous-generation Datejust 31 references before the introduction of the Caliber 2236 with the Syloxi hairspring. The Pearlmaster case is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Rolex Datejust 81315 Dial Options

The 81315 offers some of the most distinctive dial configurations in the entire Datejust family. The chocolate dial with Roman numeral hour markers in 18k Everose gold and a diamond-encrusted Roman VI is one of the most recognizable Pearlmaster looks, with the warm chocolate sunray finish pairing seamlessly against the Everose case and bracelet for a fully tonal, jewelry-leaning expression. The "Goldust Dream" mother of pearl dial features iridescent natural mother of pearl with rose gold-tone Roman hands and Roman numeral hour markers, with the Roman VI set with diamonds, a more shimmering jewelry-watch presentation. Additional options across the 81315 lineup include diamond-paved dials (with diamonds covering the full dial surface), Aubergine dials with diamond markers, and silver Roman dials. Every dial configuration is matched with the distinctive Pearlmaster bracelet in solid Everose gold, with rounded five-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp that hides the closure entirely within the bracelet flow.

Rolex Datejust 81315 Price

Pre-owned Rolex Datejust 81315 prices typically range from $18,000 to $30,000 for standard dial configurations, depending on dial, condition, and completeness with box and papers. Entry into the reference starts with silver Roman and chocolate Roman dial examples at the lower end. The chocolate dial with diamond VI sits in the middle to upper end of the standard range. The Goldust Dream mother of pearl dial reaches the upper end. Diamond-paved dial configurations can reach $35,000 to $50,000+ for unworn examples with full sets, reflecting the additional gem content and limited production. The 81315 trades at a meaningful premium over Everose Rolesor diamond bezel references like the 278381RBR, reflecting the solid 18k Everose gold construction (no steel content) and the more elaborate Pearlmaster bracelet. With Rolex having discontinued the Pearlmaster line in 2022, secondary market availability and pricing are likely to firm over time. Rolex raised retail prices approximately 7% in January 2026 across the catalog. For broader context, browse our full rose gold Rolex collection.

Rolex Datejust 81315 vs. Rolex Datejust 278381RBR

The 81315 and the 278381RBR are the two most natural Everose-gold diamond-bezel comparisons in the Datejust family, but the construction tiers are meaningfully different. The 81315 is the Pearlmaster 34 in solid 18k Everose gold, with no steel content anywhere in the case or bracelet. The Rolex Datejust 278381RBR is the Everose Rolesor Datejust 31, combining Oystersteel with 18k Everose gold on the bezel, crown, and center bracelet links only. Both feature factory diamond bezels and Everose-toned cases, but the 81315 sits at a substantially higher tier in materials, gold content, and finishing. The 81315 uses the distinctive Pearlmaster bracelet with rounded five-piece links and a concealed Crownclasp, while the 278381RBR uses the standard Oyster or Jubilee bracelet. The 81315 runs the Caliber 2235 (48-hour power reserve) while the 278381RBR runs the newer Caliber 2236 (55-hour power reserve, Syloxi hairspring). The 81315 trades at a meaningful premium reflecting the solid gold construction. Buyers who want the heritage Datejust silhouette with two-tone economy choose the 278381RBR. Buyers who want the ultra-luxe jewelry-watch tier with all solid Everose gold choose the 81315.

Common Questions

Rolex Datejust 81315 FAQ

• Is the Rolex 81315 a Datejust or a Pearlmaster?

  The Rolex 81315 is both. The Pearlmaster is part of the broader Datejust family, sharing the same date complication at 3 o'clock, the same Oyster case construction (now under the Pearlmaster name), and the same Twinlock crown and Cyclops magnification. It is positioned as the ultra-luxe jewelry-watch tier of the Datejust, introduced by Rolex in 1992 as a more elaborate, all-precious-metal expression of the classic Datejust design. The Pearlmaster name comes from its distinctive bracelet with rounded five-piece links, and the references in the 81000-series are Pearlmaster 34 models built exclusively in solid 18k gold or platinum with factory-set diamonds. The 81315 specifically is the Pearlmaster 34 in 18k Everose gold.

• What size is the Rolex Datejust 81315?

  The Rolex Datejust 81315 has a 34mm case in solid 18k Everose gold. This sits between the standard 28mm Lady-Datejust and the 36mm Datejust, in the same general midsize category as the 31mm Datejust 31 references. The 34mm Pearlmaster size was introduced to give the Pearlmaster line more wrist presence than the original 29mm format, and works well on wrists from approximately 6 inches to 7 inches. Pearlmaster references are also available in 29mm (the original size) and 39mm formats, with the 39mm references using 86000-series numbers.

• Is the Rolex Pearlmaster still in production?

  Rolex removed the Pearlmaster collection from its current catalog in 2022, ending current production of new examples. This means the 81315 and other Pearlmaster references are no longer available through Rolex authorized dealers as new pieces and are exclusively obtained through pre-owned and unworn secondary market channels. The discontinuation has firmed secondary market pricing on the most popular Pearlmaster configurations, and Pearlmaster examples in excellent condition with full sets are likely to become increasingly difficult to source over time.

• What dials are available on the Rolex Datejust 81315?

  The 81315 offers some of the most distinctive dial configurations in the Datejust family. The chocolate dial with Roman numeral hour markers in 18k Everose gold and a diamond-encrusted Roman VI is the signature Pearlmaster look. The "Goldust Dream" mother of pearl dial features iridescent natural mother of pearl with rose gold-tone Roman hands and a diamond-set Roman VI. Additional options across the 81315 lineup include diamond-paved dials (with diamonds covering the full dial surface), Aubergine dials with diamond markers, and silver Roman dials. Every variant is paired with the distinctive Pearlmaster bracelet in solid Everose gold.

• How much does a Rolex Datejust 81315 cost?

  Pre-owned Rolex Datejust 81315 prices typically range from $18,000 to $30,000 for standard dial configurations depending on dial, condition, and completeness. Silver Roman and chocolate Roman dial examples sit at the lower end. The chocolate dial with diamond VI sits in the middle to upper end. The Goldust Dream mother of pearl dial reaches the upper end of standard pricing. Diamond-paved dial configurations can reach $35,000 to $50,000 and beyond for unworn examples with full sets, reflecting the additional gem content and limited production. With Rolex having discontinued the Pearlmaster line in 2022, secondary market pricing is firmer than for in-production references.

• What is the Pearlmaster bracelet on the 81315?

  The Pearlmaster bracelet is the distinctive bracelet style that gives the Pearlmaster line its name. It features five rounded center links per row, with a softly curved profile that wraps the wrist more like fine jewelry than a traditional sport bracelet. On the 81315, the entire bracelet is forged from solid 18k Everose gold with a concealed folding Crownclasp that hides the closure mechanism entirely within the flow of the bracelet for a seamless visual appearance. This is the same bracelet style across all current Pearlmaster references, and it differentiates the Pearlmaster from the Oyster and Jubilee bracelets used on standard Datejust references. Some Pearlmaster configurations include diamonds set into the intermediate links for additional jewelry weight.
