Crafted from platinum, the 40 mm Oyster case of this Day-Date 40 features a monobloc middle case, screw-down case back, and a screw-down winding crown with Twinlock double waterproofness — offering water resistance to 100 metres. The bezel is set with diamonds, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops lens over the date window completes the case.
The ice blue dial is dressed with Roman numeral hour markers, giving the watch a timeless, distinguished character. Beneath it runs the perpetual, mechanical, self-winding Calibre 3255, which delivers a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing — certified as a Superlative Chronometer through both COSC and Rolex's own post-casing certification. The movement features a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, and bidirectional self-winding via a Perpetual rotor, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
The platinum President bracelet, composed of semi-circular three-piece links, secures with a concealed folding Crownclasp — a fitting complement to one of watchmaking's most storied references. This example is dated 2023.
