Rolex Day-Date 40 Solid Platinum Ice Blue Dial (Ref. 228236)

The ultimate symbol of horological prestige and success: The Rolex Day-Date 40 in solid 950 Platinum (Reference 228236). Universally known as the "President's Watch," this 40mm masterpiece features the highly exclusive Ice Blue dial, a signature colorway reserved strictly and entirely for Rolex's platinum timepieces. Pairing the ultra-rare platinum fluted bezel with the iconic President bracelet, this is one of the heaviest, most luxurious, and commanding watches ever produced by Rolex.

Key Features:

• Exclusive Ice Blue Dial: The highly coveted, legendary sunray-finished ice blue face—an immediate visual indicator to collectors that the timepiece is crafted from pure platinum.
• Solid 950 Platinum Construction: Forged from the noblest of precious metals, giving the watch an incredible, substantial weight on the wrist and a brilliant white luster that never fades.
• Platinum Fluted Bezel: A true engineering triumph. For decades, platinum Day-Date models were only available with smooth bezels due to the extreme difficulty of machining platinum into sharp angles. This reference showcases Rolex’s mastery with a sharp, light-reflecting fluted bezel in solid platinum.
• The President Bracelet: Fitted with the historic three-piece semi-circular link President bracelet in solid platinum, complete with ceramic inserts inside the links to prevent stretch, and a concealed folding Crownclasp.
• Dual Calendar Displays: Features the classic instantaneously changing day of the week spelled out in full at 12 o'clock, alongside the date window at 3 o'clock magnified by the Cyclops lens.
• Calibre 3255 Movement: Powered by the state-of-the-art, next-generation automatic movement, equipped with a Chronergy escapement and an impressive 70-hour power reserve.
