Rolex Day-Date 228235 Collection Watch Details

Product Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 228235 continues the unmistakable design language of the Day-Date collection in Rolex's proprietary 18 ct Everose gold. Its 40 mm Oyster case, fluted bezel and President bracelet create a harmonious precious-metal design, preserving the traditional character of the Day-Date while presenting it in balanced contemporary proportions.

One of the defining characteristics of the Day-Date is its calendar arrangement, with the day of the week spelt out in full at 12 o'clock and the date displayed separately at 3 o'clock. Combined with the traditional three-hand display, these two calendar indications give the collection its distinctive identity.

The 228235 is powered by the Rolex-manufactured calibre 3255 self-winding mechanical movement and is offered with a broad selection of official dials. Sundust, chocolate, olive green, white and slate ombré versions are complemented by natural stone and diamond-set configurations, allowing the same reference to take on distinctly different visual expressions.

Product Features

18 ct Everose Gold Oyster Case

The 228235 features a 40 mm Oyster case crafted from 18 ct Everose gold. Its construction consists of a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back and screw-down winding crown, creating a uniform precious-metal appearance with the warm tone characteristic of Everose gold.

Everose gold is Rolex's proprietary and patented 18 ct pink gold alloy. Introduced in 2005, it is manufactured in the brand's own foundry and is used for Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.

Fluted Everose Gold Bezel

The 228235 is fitted with the characteristic Day-Date fluted bezel in 18 ct Everose gold.

The fluting originally served a technical purpose, allowing the bezel to be screwed onto the case to help ensure waterproofness. Over time, it evolved into one of Rolex's most recognizable aesthetic signatures and creates distinctive reflections of light around the Day-Date 40 case.

Day and Date Display

The defining function of the Day-Date is the simultaneous display of the day of the week and the date.

The day is spelt out in full in a dedicated aperture at 12 o'clock, while the date appears in a separate window at 3 o'clock. The clearly separated indications make both calendar functions easy to read.

The day and date change instantaneously and can be rapidly adjusted, providing a complete and intuitive calendar display alongside the hours, minutes and seconds.

Cyclops Lens

The date aperture at 3 o'clock is topped by Rolex's characteristic Cyclops lens.

Positioned on the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the lens magnifies the date indication for improved readability and forms one of the most recognizable elements of Rolex date watches.

Calibre 3255 Self-Winding Mechanical Movement

The 228235 is powered by calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured by Rolex.

The movement drives the central hour, minute and seconds hands together with the instantaneous day and date indications. Stop-seconds functionality allows precise time setting, while the Perpetual rotor provides bidirectional automatic winding.

A blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers contribute to the movement's stability when exposed to magnetic fields, temperature variations and everyday shocks.

President Bracelet

The 228235 is fitted with a President bracelet crafted from matching 18 ct Everose gold.

Its characteristic semi-circular three-piece links offer a more rounded profile than the broader, flatter construction of an Oyster bracelet. Created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, the President bracelet has become one of the collection's defining design features.

The closely integrated links complement the fluted bezel and precious-metal case, giving the watch a continuous Everose gold appearance from case to bracelet.

Concealed Crownclasp

The President bracelet is secured by a concealed folding Crownclasp.

When closed, most of the clasp mechanism remains hidden within the bracelet, with the Rolex crown serving as the opening point. This allows the semi-circular links to retain a visually continuous appearance.

Twinlock Waterproofness System

The screw-down winding crown uses Rolex's Twinlock double waterproofness system.

Together with the monobloc middle case and screw-down case back, it forms part of the sealed Oyster architecture protecting the mechanical movement.

100-Metre Water Resistance

The 228235 is officially waterproof to a depth of 100 metres or 330 feet.

The Oyster case, screw-down case back, Twinlock crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal work together to provide reliable protection suitable for everyday wear.

Multiple Official Dial Configurations

Reference 228235 is not limited to one fixed dial.

Depending on the complete model reference, official configurations include Sundust, chocolate, olive green, white and slate ombré dials, together with natural eisenkiesel, white mother-of-pearl and various diamond-set versions.

Eisenkiesel is a naturally veined quartz containing iron oxide, meaning the appearance of each stone dial naturally varies. Other configurations use baguette-cut diamond hour markers or fully diamond-paved surfaces. Product descriptions should therefore correspond to the exact model reference and individual watch configuration.

Summary

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 presents the defining character of the Day-Date in a complete 18 ct Everose gold configuration. Its 40 mm Oyster case, fluted bezel, President bracelet, full day display at 12 o'clock and date window at 3 o'clock create an instantly recognizable combination.

Calibre 3255 provides the time, day and date functions, while the Cyclops lens, concealed Crownclasp, Twinlock system and 100-metre water resistance add practical functionality to the traditional precious-metal construction.

The warm tone of Everose gold gives the 228235 a distinctly different visual character from traditional yellow-gold Day-Date models. Combined with chocolate, olive green, Sundust, natural stone and diamond-set dial options, the reference offers considerable visual variety while retaining the established architecture of the Day-Date.
