Rolex Day-Date 40 Slate Ombré « Unworn »

Description

• Ombré

• A true pinnacle of horological elegance, the Rolex Day-Date 40 228235-0055 stands as the most accomplished expression of prestige according to Rolex. Crafted entirely in 18 ct Everose gold, an exclusive alloy developed in-house, it is defined by its perfectly proportioned 40 mm case, enhanced by the emblematic fluted bezel and the President bracelet, the ultimate signature of the collection.

  The ombré dial gives this piece a singular and distinctly contemporary presence. Its tone, lighter at the centre and gradually darkening towards the edges, creates a subtle and captivating sense of depth. This carefully executed gradient highlights the applied hour markers and hands, while offering a nuanced and dynamic reading depending on the light. The day display at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens, retain the full legibility and iconic identity of the Day-Date.

  The watch is powered by the automatic calibre 3255, one of Rolex’s most advanced movements. It delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve, high-precision timekeeping certified as a Superlative Chronometer, and exceptional robustness thanks to the brand’s proprietary innovations. The result is outstanding reliability in daily wear.

  Presented here in brand new condition, this example is offered as a full set, complete with its original box, papers, and accessories. In this ombré configuration, the Day-Date 40 embodies a strong aesthetic evolution, combining tradition and modernity with remarkable balance.

  On the wrist, it stands out through a rare equilibrium between visual presence and refinement. A watch of true character, intended for a discerning collector seeking a Day-Date that is both iconic and distinctly different, defined by impeccable execution.
