Product Description

From the most well known watch maker in the world - Rolex. The iconic Rolex Day-Date originally launched in 1956 - this is the reference 228396TBR. 

Cast in platinum to a 40mm diameter case, with a depth of 12mm and an ice blue dial with diamond baguette indices, not finished there the watch case is completed with a factory diamond baguette bezel - tessellate brilliants referring to the setting of the baguettes. 

The Day-Date 40 is paired to the famous presidential bracelet also cast in platinum, with pivoting end links to wear smaller than its predecessor the Day-Date 2. The satin end links are complemented by polished centre links for contrast, the ceramic coated pins ensure bracelet stretch isn’t possible here, the crown clasp closure is the only clue to how the watch is secured.

Inside the case the Rolex manufactured calibre 3255 movement replacing the older 3155, bidirectional winding and 70 hours power reserve, a superlative chronometer as the movement is tested in 6 position and runs no more than +2/-2 seconds per day. 

This example is in brand new condition with no signs of wear or polishing, complete with a 2022 dated Rolex Warranty Card, booklets, both tags and the XL jewellery display box.
