Rolex Day-Date 40 Reference 228236 Product Description

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40 reference 228236 is crafted from 950 platinum, presenting the established elegance of the Day-Date collection in balanced 40 mm proportions. Platinum displays a naturally cool white sheen and offers a refined, substantial feel on the wrist, creating an understated appearance with the unmistakable character of a precious-metal watch.

The watch retains the signature Day-Date calendar layout, displaying the day of the week written in full at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock. A fluted bezel and President bracelet create a flowing, formal and highly recognisable design. Reference 228236 is available with a variety of dial colours, hour markers and gem-setting configurations, ranging from restrained and professional to richly decorative.

Product Features

• 950 platinum construction

The case, bezel and bracelet are crafted from 950 platinum. Its naturally white colour, high density and substantial wrist presence give the watch a discreet yet distinctive precious-metal character.

• 40 mm Oyster case

The 40 mm diameter offers a balanced combination of presence and wearability. The robust Oyster construction consists of a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back and screw-down winding crown.

• Platinum fluted bezel

The fluted bezel is one of Rolex’s most recognisable design elements. Its precisely formed facets reflect light from different angles, adding depth and visual definition to the watch.

• Day and date display

The day of the week is written in full at 12 o’clock, while the date appears in a window at 3 o’clock. The clear arrangement allows daily information to be read at a glance.

• Instantaneous calendar change

The day and date indications change rapidly around midnight, creating a clean and precise calendar transition while allowing convenient adjustment.

• Selection of dial configurations

Reference 228236 is offered with various dial colours, textures and hour markers. The ice-blue dial is particularly associated with Rolex platinum watches, while selected versions feature diamond-set markers, mother-of-pearl or meteorite. Exact specifications depend on the individual model.

• Calibre 3255

The watch is powered by Rolex calibre 3255, a perpetual self-winding mechanical movement displaying central hours, minutes and seconds together with the day and date.

• Sapphire crystal

A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial. The Cyclops lens positioned over the date magnifies the numerals for improved readability.

• President bracelet

Created specifically for the Day-Date, the President bracelet features three-piece semi-circular links. Its platinum construction follows the contours of the wrist and offers a stable, comfortable fit.

• Concealed Crownclasp

The concealed Crownclasp integrates naturally into the bracelet, preserving the continuous appearance of the links while providing secure fastening.

Summary

The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228236 combines the distinctive qualities of 950 platinum with a fluted bezel, President bracelet and the signature day and date display. Its cool white appearance is discreet and formal, while the weight and lustre of platinum give the watch a substantial precious-metal presence.

A broad selection of dial and gem-setting configurations allows the reference to range from restrained business styling to richly decorative expressions. For wearers who value precious materials, established design and practical calendar functionality, reference 228236 offers a refined combination of identity, comfort and collectability.
