Rolex Day-Date 40 228239 Silver Dial

About This Watch

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228239 in 18-karat white gold with silver dial represents the more understated expression of the "President" watch. White gold shares the same density and weight as yellow gold but presents a cooler, more contemporary appearance that some find more versatile for modern wardrobes. The silver sunburst dial with applied white gold hour markers creates a monochromatic, refined aesthetic. The fluted bezel in white gold catches light beautifully, adding just enough visual interest without the warmth of yellow or Everose gold. The President bracelet in white gold has a sophisticated, slightly icy quality that pairs well with formal and business attire. The caliber 3255 inside provides a 70-hour power reserve with the latest Rolex innovations in precision and reliability. The day display, available in 26 languages, is neatly spelled out in full through an aperture at 12 o'clock, while the date appears at 3 o'clock under the Cyclops magnifier. White gold Day-Dates have traditionally appealed to collectors who appreciate precious metals but prefer a subtle presentation, as the white gold can be easily mistaken for stainless steel by the uninitiated, an appealing quality for the truly discerning buyer.
