Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228239-0076

About this product

A fluted white gold bezel and the President bracelet around a bright blue dial with Roman numerals. 40mm in 18 ct white gold. Blue on a Day-Date is a relatively recent liberty — the model spent decades in champagne and silver before colour was allowed anywhere near it. At 40mm the Day-Date is the fuller of the two sizes, redrawn in 2015 with a wider dial opening and slimmer lugs rather than simply scaled up. In white gold, the fluted bezel is machined into the solid case rather than applied to it. It is worn on the President bracelet, made only for this model and for the Day-Date’s closest relations, with a concealed Crownclasp. Calibre 3255 sits inside with about seventy hours in reserve. Rolex lists this alongside reference 228239-0007, which shares the same case, bezel, dial colour and bracelet; the two differ in a detail of finish that a photograph will not show, so it is worth seeing them together.
