Description
The Rolex Day-Date 40 in reference 228236 is a wristwatch that exudes sophistication and prestige. Its 40 mm Oyster case is crafted from solid platinum, a precious metal known for its density, luster, and resistance to corrosion. The case features a screw-down case back and winding crown, contributing to the watch’s impressive water resistance of up to 100 meters. A fluted bezel, a signature Rolex design element, adds a touch of elegance to the timepiece. The bezel was originally designed with a functional purpose: to screw the bezel onto the case to ensure the watch’s water resistance. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element.
The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 features a stunning ice-blue dial. This color is exclusive to Rolex platinum watches and is a mark of distinction for those who own one. The dial features central hour, minute, and sweeping second hands. A Rolex signature Cyclops lens sits at 3:00 o’clock, magnifying the date display for easy reading.
The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 is equipped with the Rolex Calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement. This chronometer-certified movement is renowned for its accuracy and reliability. The Calibre 3255 is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring, which is resistant to magnetism and temperature shocks. The movement also boasts a 70-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch will continue to keep time even if it is not worn for a few days. The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 is completed by a President bracelet. This bracelet is synonymous with luxury and sophistication and is made from solid platinum. The bracelet features semi-circular three-piece links that drape effortlessly over the wrist. A concealed folding Crownclasp ensures a secure and comfortable fit. GenderMen
