Description
The Rolex Day-Date 228239 is a sophisticated blend of luxury and contemporary style, crafted from white gold. Its 40mm case is highlighted by a fluted white gold bezel, adding a refined touch to its iconic silhouette. The fluting began as a functional device for screwing the bezel down onto the case and is now cut and polished purely for the way it catches light. Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch to show the date alongside the day of the week spelled out in full, and in solid white gold it holds to the collection’s founding rule that the Day-Date is made only in gold or platinum. The standout white mother-of-pearl dial features diamond hour markers, offering a lustrous and refined aesthetic.
The day is spelled out in full at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock sits beneath Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, while the President bracelet, created for the Day-Date at its 1956 launch, enhances both elegance and comfort with its semi-circular three-piece links. Perfectly balancing functionality and luxurious design, the Day-Date 228239 is a timeless statement piece for those who appreciate bold yet refined timepieces.
