Rolex Day-Date 40 – Ref. 228236-0006
The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228236-0006 is the ultimate expression of prestige and precision, combining the brilliance of platinum with Rolex’s hallmark craftsmanship. It stands as one of the most refined models in the Day-Date collection, reserved for those who appreciate timeless design and impeccable performance.
The watch features a 40 mm case made entirely of 950 platinum, giving it a distinct silvery luster and a sense of weight that signifies exclusivity. The case is topped with Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, also crafted in platinum, which adds depth and sparkle to the design. Its sapphire crystal includes the Cyclops lens for enhanced date readability, while the case maintains 100 meters of water resistance for everyday reliability.
The ice-blue dial—a color used exclusively on Rolex platinum watches—is the centerpiece of this model. It features baguette diamond hour markers that radiate understated luxury and provide exceptional legibility. The classic Day-Date display presents the full day of the week at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock, perfectly framed by the refined dial layout.
Inside, the watch is powered by Rolex’s self-winding Caliber 3255, a movement developed entirely in-house. It offers a 70-hour power reserve and delivers exceptional accuracy within ±2 seconds per day. This movement includes the patented Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring, providing superior efficiency, magnetic resistance, and shock protection—hallmarks of Rolex’s technical innovation.
The platinum President bracelet completes the piece, featuring semi-circular three-piece links designed for both elegance and comfort. Its concealed Crownclasp closure ensures a seamless finish, allowing the bracelet to flow naturally around the wrist.
