Product Overview

The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228239 represents the pinnacle of watchmaking excellence. Crafted in 18k white gold, this 40mm model offers a substantial and contemporary presence on the wrist while maintaining the timeless elegance of the original President watch. From its flawlessly finished Oyster case to the beautifully faceted fluted bezel, every element is designed to reflect light and sophistication. It is a symbol of achievement that seamlessly transitions from the boardroom to formal evening events.

The Purity of 18k White Gold

Rolex operates its own exclusive foundry, ensuring the absolute purity of the 18k white gold used in the 228239. This noble metal provides the luster and weight of a precious metal while offering a more discreet profile than yellow or rose gold. The signature fluted bezel adds a classic dimension, serving as a visual hallmark that is instantly recognizable to watch enthusiasts worldwide.

Advanced Calibre 3255 Movement

At the heart of the 228239 beats the Calibre 3255, a new generation self-winding mechanical movement developed entirely in-house. This Superlative Chronometer features the patented Chronergy escapement and a blue Parachrom hairspring, ensuring superior resistance to magnetic fields and physical shocks. The movement guarantees remarkable precision of minus 2 to plus 2 seconds per day and provides a highly reliable 70-hour power reserve.

The Legendary President Bracelet

The Day-Date 40 is paired exclusively with the President bracelet, a masterpiece of form and function introduced in 1956. With its semi-circular, three-piece links forged in solid 18k white gold, it drapes comfortably and securely around the wrist. The seamless aesthetic is perfectly finished with an elegant, concealed folding Crownclasp.
