Description
Powered by Rolex’s caliber 3255 perpetual, self-winding movement with 70-hour power reserve, this platinum Day-Date 40 reference 228236 represents the pinnacle of horological achievement in precious metals. The 40mm platinum case frames a striking blue dial that shifts from deep navy to brilliant azure depending on lighting conditions, while the signature fluted bezel catches light with architectural precision. Rolex’s exclusive platinum formula, denser than steel and requiring specialized manufacturing techniques, creates a substantial 271-gram presence on the wrist that immediately distinguishes this timepiece from lesser metals.
