Housed in a 40 mm Oyster case crafted entirely in platinum, the Day-Date 228236-0026 features a fluted bezel and a screw-down winding crown equipped with Rolex's Twinlock double waterproofness system. The monobloc middle case is sealed by a screw-down case back, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date window completes the architecture. Water resistance reaches 100 metres / 330 feet.
The white mother-of-pearl dial is set with 10 baguette-cut diamonds at the hour markers, catching light across the entire face. Day and date displays appear in dedicated apertures with instantaneous, secure rapid-setting, while stop-seconds functionality allows for precise time synchronization.
Power comes from Calibre 3255, a perpetual mechanical self-winding movement with a Manufacture Rolex designation, a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours at a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. The watch rides on a platinum President bracelet with semi-circular three-piece links and a concealed folding Crownclasp. Production year: 2024.
