Rolex Day-Date 228236 Platinum Ice Blue

950 Platinum – The Noblest of Metals

The Day-Date 40 228236 is crafted entirely in 950 platinum — the rarest and most prestigious metal in watchmaking. Its fluted bezel, also in platinum, frames the 40mm Oyster case with understated magnificence. The Day-Date has always been associated with world leaders and visionaries, and this platinum version represents the ultimate expression of that legacy.

Ice Blue Dial – Exclusive to Platinum

The mesmerizing ice-blue dial is an exclusive color available only on Rolex platinum models. Displaying both the day of the week in full and the date simultaneously in dedicated apertures, the ice-blue dial is an immediately recognizable signature of the Day-Date in platinum. Luminescent hour markers and a Cyclops lens ensure perfect legibility at all times.

The President Bracelet – Born for Power

Introduced in 1956 alongside the original Day-Date, the President bracelet in semi-circular three-piece links is available exclusively in precious metals. On this model, it is crafted in 950 platinum, secured by a concealed Crownclasp that maintains the clean, continuous lines of the bracelet. The President bracelet is one of the most iconic watch bracelets ever created.

Calibre 3255 – The Pinnacle of Rolex Engineering

The Day-Date 40 228236 is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3255 — a self-winding in-house movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, it maintains accuracy of +/-2 seconds per day and incorporates the Chronergy escapement — a patented innovation improving efficiency by 15% compared to conventional lever escapements.
