The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 represents the pinnacle of Rolex craftsmanship, combining the prestige of 950 platinum with one of the brand’s most recognisable dial colours. Reserved exclusively for platinum Rolex watches, the ice-blue dial immediately distinguishes this exceptional timepiece from every other Day-Date in the collection.
This reference features a beautifully finished ice-blue dial set with 10 baguette-cut diamond hour markers, creating a refined balance between luxury and everyday wearability. The signature fluted platinum bezel frames the dial perfectly, while the iconic President bracelet delivers outstanding comfort and timeless elegance.
At its heart is the Rolex calibre 3255, an in-house automatic movement renowned for its precision, reliability and approximately 70-hour power reserve. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, the movement delivers exceptional performance, while the 40mm Oyster case provides water resistance to 100 metres for complete confidence in daily wear.
Often referred to as the “President’s Watch”, the Day-Date has remained one of Rolex’s most prestigious collections since its introduction in 1956. The platinum 228236 with its exclusive ice-blue baguette dial is among the most sought-after modern Day-Date references, combining precious materials, technical excellence and timeless design into one of the finest watches produced by Rolex.
