“40mm case and bracelet in white gold, with a subtle yet stylish rhodium dial - one of the most powerful daily wearers out there.”

First presented in 1956, the Day-Date is Rolex’s flagship watch, instantly recognisable worldwide. The first watch to ever display the day in full, it has been worn by several U.S. presidents, Fidel Castro, Tony Soprano and even the Dalai Lama. This model, the 228239, features a 40mm case and bracelet forged from luxurious 18k white gold, created in Rolex’s foundry from their secretive gold blend. The dial is a sophisticated slate grey, rhodium colour with white gold hour markers, both blending and contrasting with the bright hue of the white gold. The iconic Presidential bracelet “represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort,” to quote Rolex themselves, and the sharp and soft contrasts of the fluted bezel and the bracelet combine with a mix of brushed and polished finishing, giving the watch a dazzling sheen from all angles. This model’s upgraded cal.3255 movement is highly resistant to magnetism, with a 70-hour power reserve and optimised Chronergy escapement. An indulgent, sophisticated classic.
