Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228239 Platinum with Slate Dial & Fluted Bezel

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228239 is a hallmark of prestige, crafted entirely from solid 18 kt white gold and paired with a beautifully refined slate dial. Revered as the ultimate symbol of success and leadership, the Day-Date remains one of Rolex’s most iconic creations—instantly recognizable for its President bracelet and dual calendar windows.

This configuration showcases the elegant fluted bezel, a signature Rolex design element originally engineered for water-resistance but now synonymous with luxury and status. Its crisp facets catch the light with every movement, giving the watch a dynamic brilliance that complements the cool tone of white gold.

The slate dial introduces a modern, understated aesthetic. Its monochromatic gradient and applied white-gold markers create a sophisticated visual depth, while the day display at 12 o’clock and the date aperture at 3 o’clock maintain the watch’s unmistakable DNA.

Powered by Rolex’s high-precision automatic movement, the Day-Date 40 ensures exceptional timekeeping performance, reliability, and long-term stability. The President bracelet, crafted from solid white-gold links, offers unparalleled comfort and drapes across the wrist with fluid ease.

This reference is ideal for a collector seeking a modern, dress-forward execution of the Day-Date—classic in silhouette, contemporary in color, and unmistakably refined.
