The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228236-0013 is an exquisite platinum timepiece that showcases refined elegance and sophisticated design. Offered in 950 platinum, it features a slate-gray sunray dial which adds depth and versatility to its styling.
This watch features a 40 mm platinum case with Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, which beautifully catches and reflects light. Built with the Oyster architecture—monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and Twinlock crown—the case delivers 100 meters of water resistance while presenting a polished, seamless look.
The slate dial is adorned with applied white-gold hour markers and luminescent hands, ensuring clear legibility in all lighting conditions. The day display is fully spelled out at 12 o’clock, while the date window at 3 o’clock is magnified by the Cyclops lens—hallmarks of the Day-Date collection.
Under the hood is Rolex’s Caliber 3255, a high-performance self-winding movement. It offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and complies with Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard for exceptional accuracy. Innovations such as the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers enhance efficiency, stability, and robustness.
The watch is fitted with the platinum President bracelet, built from semi-circular three-piece links, delivering both comfort and an elegant aesthetic. The concealed Crownclasp ensures a seamless integration between case and bracelet, contributing to a sleek overall profile.
