Housed in a 40mm 18K yellow gold case, this Day-Date 40 (ref. 228238-0042) features a screw-down back with Rolex fluting and a screw-down crown with twin lock double waterproofness system. The fluted bezel frames a scratch-resistant double anti-reflective sapphire crystal fitted with a cyclops lens over the date window. Waterproof to 100 meters.
The white dial is adorned with bevelled deconstructed Roman numerals and gold toned hands, displaying the hour, minute, second, and instantaneous day and date indications in apertures. Power comes from the Rolex calibre 3255 automatic movement, offering unrestricted rapid-setting, stop-seconds for precise time setting, and approximately 70 hours of power reserve.
The watch is worn on a President bracelet composed of three-piece solid links — a polished center link, satin-finished outer links, and ceramic inserts — secured by a concealed folding Crown clasp. This example is accompanied by its original box and papers.
