Rolex Day-Date 40 228206 Ice Blue Roman

About This Watch

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228206 in platinum with ice blue dial and Roman numeral hour markers is the ultimate expression of quiet authority in the Rolex catalog. The 950 platinum case and President bracelet weigh an impressive 280 grams, giving this watch a substantial presence that is immediately apparent to the wearer. The smooth bezel on the platinum Day-Date differentiates it from the fluted bezels typical on gold versions, creating a sleek, modern profile. The ice blue dial, exclusive to Rolex platinum models, features a cool, glacial tone with applied Roman numerals that add classical gravitas. The day display in the aperture at 12 o'clock shows the day of the week in full, while the date sits beneath the Cyclops magnifier at 3 o'clock. The caliber 3255 provides a 70-hour power reserve with the latest Rolex innovations. The platinum Day-Date has been the choice of presidents, prime ministers, and heads of state for over six decades, and this particular configuration with Roman numerals on ice blue represents the most refined iteration. It is a watch for those who have achieved everything and need nothing more than perfect time.
