The Rolex Day-Date 40 (Reference: 228206) is the absolute flagship model, crafted entirely from the world's most noble metal: 950 Platinum. This timepiece embodies the prestige of the "President's Watch" with an exclusive aesthetic reserved only for the most discerning collectors.

Ultimate Exclusivity: Platinum and the Ice Blue Dial

The use of platinum makes this model distinctly heavier and subtly more brilliant than its gold counterparts, conveying an understated luxury that is palpable on the wrist.

  • Case and Bezel: The 40 mm Super-Case is sculpted from a solid block of 950 Platinum. This reference is traditionally paired with a highly polished Smooth Bezel, allowing the exceptional quality of the metal to take center stage, though other bezel options exist.

  • Dial: The mesmerizing Ice Blue Dial is the ultimate identifier of a platinum Rolex. This signature color is reserved exclusively for Rolex watches crafted in platinum, guaranteeing the timepiece's rarity and elevated status.

  • Markers: The dial features applied Index Hour Markers (often in white gold) and Luminous hands, offering a clean, modern aesthetic that ensures excellent legibility.

Movement and Performance

This Day-Date 40 is powered by Rolex's latest generation movement, representing the absolute forefront of watchmaking technology.

  • Movement: It houses the Calibre 3255, a Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement holds 14 patents, including the highly efficient Chronergy escapement.

  • Precision: Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, it is tested to meet a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, which is twice as stringent as an officially certified chronometer.

  • Power Reserve: The optimized barrel architecture provides an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

  • Water Resistance: The Oyster case architecture, featuring a Screw Down Crown and Solid Case Back, ensures water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

The President Bracelet

The watch is secured by the legendary President Bracelet, a creation exclusive to the Day-Date line.

  • Bracelet: Crafted entirely from solid Platinum, the bracelet features semi-circular three-piece links that offer unparalleled comfort and fluidity.

  • Clasp: It is secured by the seamlessly integrated Concealed Folding Crownclasp, where the Rolex crown serves as the subtle release mechanism.
