Rolex Day-Date 40 18kt Everose Gold Pave Diamond Dial President Ref. 228235

The Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228235 represents the pinnacle of Rolex craftsmanship and prestige, combining the timeless elegance of the President collection with extraordinary gem-setting artistry. This exceptional timepiece is crafted entirely from Rolex’s proprietary 18kt Everose gold and features a spectacular factory pavé diamond dial adorned with baguette cut diamond hour markers. Reserved exclusively for precious metals, the Day-Date remains one of the most prestigious watches in the Rolex catalog and has long been recognized as the ultimate symbol of success and refinement.

Measuring 40mm in diameter, the case is forged from solid 18kt Everose gold, Rolex’s patented rose gold alloy designed to preserve its warm hue over time. The iconic fluted bezel frames the dial with unmistakable brilliance, while the celebrated President bracelet, featuring polished center links and concealed Crownclasp, provides unmatched comfort and elegance. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnifier over the date display, the watch offers water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

The highlight of this reference is its breathtaking factory pavé diamond dial. Hundreds of brilliant-cut diamonds create a shimmering surface that is further enhanced by baguette-cut diamond hour markers set in gold surrounds. The warm Everose gold tone beautifully complements the diamonds, while the signature day aperture at 12 o’clock and date display at 3 o’clock preserve the classic Day-Date layout that has defined the collection since 1956. The combination of precious materials and exceptional gem setting results in a timepiece of remarkable luxury and exclusivity.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3255, a state-of-the-art manufacture automatic movement introduced alongside the Day-Date 40 collection. Comprised of over 200 components and incorporating Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement, the movement offers exceptional efficiency and resistance to magnetism. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the caliber contains 31 jewels and delivers an impressive 70-hour power reserve.
