A quintessential expression of Rolex classicism, the Day-Date 40 reference 228238-0069 strikes a perfect balance between refined watchmaking, timeless prestige and contemporary sophistication. Crafted entirely from 18ct yellow gold, it features all the emblematic design codes of the collection, including the fluted bezel and the President bracelet, long regarded as a mark of exclusivity and elegance since the 1950s.
The ombré green dial is both bold and deeply elegant, displaying subtle tonal shifts that evolve with the light. Its rich emerald hue darkens toward the edges, enhancing the visual depth of the watch. Applied gold hour markers, the day window at twelve o'clock and the date at three, magnified by the Cyclops lens, all contribute to the Day-Date’s distinctive identity as the first wristwatch to indicate both the full day of the week and the date.
At its heart beats the calibre 3255, delivering exceptional precision, a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and remarkable durability. Equipped with the latest generation of components, this movement combines modern innovation with aesthetic continuity, in keeping with Rolex's uncompromising standards.
This 2025 example is presented in brand-new, unworn condition, accompanied by its complete set including original box, papers and accessories. It is a highly desirable piece for any discerning collector or enthusiast seeking a rare and contemporary expression of the Day-Date, with lasting aesthetic and patrimonial value.
