Rolex Day-Date 40 -
Bright Blue Roman Dial (Ref. 228239)
$55500.00$54900.00
The Rolex Day-Date 40 in 18k white gold is a masterclass in "stealth wealth." While it shares the same iconic silhouette as its yellow gold siblings, the white gold construction offers a more understated, contemporary look. This specific configuration features a vibrant Bright Blue dial adorned with faceted Roman numeral markers, a combination that has become a modern favorite for the "President" line.
This pre-owned model from 2025 is in Excellent (Unworn) condition and includes its original Box and Papers.

Why This Model Stands Out
The "Stealth" President: To the untrained eye, 18k white gold can resemble stainless steel, but the weight and luster are unmistakable to the wearer. It is the perfect choice for those who want the prestige of a Day-Date without the flash of yellow gold.
Modern Blue Palette: Rolex's "Bright Blue" is a sunray-finished dial that shifts from a deep navy to a vibrant electric blue depending on the light, providing a dynamic contrast against the white gold case.
Deconstructed Romans: The Roman numerals on the Day-Date 40 are "deconstructed," meaning they are made of multiple hand-applied pieces, creating a three-dimensional look that catches light from every angle.
