Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 Series 

Product Description

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 series is one of the signature references within the Day-Date collection, crafted exclusively in 18 ct Everose gold and distinguished by Rolex's iconic day and date display. Combining the timeless character of the Day-Date with modern watchmaking technology, the 40 mm model offers an elegant balance of refined aesthetics, precision and everyday wearability.

The 228235 series is available with a variety of official dial configurations, including olive green, chocolate, white, silver and other distinctive finishes. Each reference presents its own character while preserving the unmistakable identity of the Day-Date collection.

18 ct Everose Gold Oyster Case

The 228235 series features Rolex's proprietary 18 ct Everose gold, an exclusive rose gold alloy developed and cast in-house. Designed to preserve the richness of its colour over time, Everose gold has become one of the defining materials of modern Rolex watchmaking.

Its 40 mm Oyster case combines durability with refined proportions. Carefully finished with polished and satin-brushed surfaces, the case reflects Rolex's meticulous approach to case manufacturing. Together with the Twinlock double waterproofness system and the screw-down winding crown, the Oyster case provides water resistance to 100 metres.

Iconic Day and Date Display

Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date was the world's first wristwatch to display both the day of the week in full and the date through dedicated apertures on the dial.

The 228235 continues this tradition with the day displayed at 12 o'clock and the date at 3 o'clock beneath Rolex's signature Cyclops lens, enhancing readability. The day display is available in multiple official language options, reflecting the international character of the collection.

Dial Design

The 228235 series is offered with a wide selection of official dial designs, including sunray-finish, coloured and other distinctive configurations. Depending on the reference, applied hour markers or diamond-set indexes further enhance the individuality of each watch.

Rolex hands and hour markers are filled with Chromalight luminescent material, providing a long-lasting blue glow in low-light conditions while maintaining excellent legibility.

Calibre 3255 Self-winding Movement

The 228235 series is powered by the Rolex Manufacture Calibre 3255, a self-winding mechanical movement incorporating 14 patents. Featuring the Chronergy escapement, an optimised barrel and an efficient gear train, the movement delivers improved precision, efficiency and reliability.

Calibre 3255 offers an approximate power reserve of 70 hours and is certified as a Rolex Superlative Chronometer, guaranteeing an accuracy of −2/+2 seconds per day after casing, exceeding standard Swiss chronometer requirements.

President Bracelet

The 228235 series is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, created exclusively for the Day-Date collection. Its semi-circular three-piece links combine exceptional comfort with an elegant appearance and have remained one of the defining features of the Day-Date since its introduction.

The bracelet is equipped with the concealed Crownclasp, allowing the elegant profile of the bracelet to remain uninterrupted while providing secure and comfortable wear.

Summary

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 series combines an 18 ct Everose gold case, the iconic day and date display, the Calibre 3255 self-winding movement and the President bracelet, reflecting the enduring elegance, precision and craftsmanship that define the Day-Date collection.
