Rolex Day-Date Ref. 228239 40 mm 18k White Gold with Ombré Smoke Blue Dial

The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 228239 in 40 mm represents one of the maison’s most revered expressions of precious-metal watchmaking. Since its introduction in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day written in full, the Day-Date has remained a hallmark of distinction. In this reference, the 18k white gold case showcases a refined brilliance, complemented by the signature fluted bezel and the President bracelet that has become synonymous with the model’s elevated character.

At the center lies an ombré smoke blue dial, transitioning from deep midnight hues to a luminous blue edge. This gradient backdrop enhances the sculpted Roman numerals and the clarity of its day and date windows. Powered by a robust automatic movement, the timepiece delivers exceptional precision and the enduring reliability expected from Rolex’s modern calibers.

Elegant yet commanding, this configuration of the Day-Date merges heritage craftsmanship with contemporary refinement, making it a coveted choice among collectors seeking a distinguished precious-metal statement piece.
