Rolex Day-Date 40 – Ref. 228236-0007
The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228236-0007 is a distinguished luxury timepiece crafted in 950 platinum, featuring a bold and elegant bright blue sunray dial with Roman numeral hour markers. Designed for those who demand prestige and precision, this model is a refined upgrade in the Day-Date lineage.
The 40 mm platinum case delivers both weight and poise, accentuated by the iconic fluted platinum bezel which captures light beautifully. The robust Oyster architecture includes a screw-down case back, Twinlock crown, and water resistance up to 100 meters—combining elegance with everyday durability.
On the dial, the bright blue tone enhances the visual depth of the sunray finish. Roman numerals in white gold lend classical poise, while the day window at 12 o’clock and date aperture at 3 o’clock (magnified by the Cyclops lens) maintain Rolex’s signature Day-Date layout with clarity and balance.
Inside, the watch is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 3255—a self-winding movement developed and manufactured in-house. It delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and meets Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standards of ±2 seconds per day. Advanced components like the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers ensure exceptional resistance to magnetic fields, shocks, and performance drift over time.
The piece is completed by the platinum President bracelet, composed of semi-circular three-piece links crafted for comfort and elegance. A concealed folding Crownclasp ensures a clean, seamless transition from case to bracelet.
