Pre-owned Rolex Day-Date 40 ref 228206 (2018) is one of the most distinctive modern executions of the President. Crafted entirely in platinum, the watch carries the quiet weight and subtle sheen that set Rolex’s most prestigious metal apart from steel or white gold. This example features the earlier smooth bezel configuration, a style Rolex used on platinum Day-Date models for years before introducing the newer fluted platinum bezel seen on current production pieces. The watch measures 40mm and is paired with the signature President bracelet, the semi-circular three-link bracelet created specifically for the Day-Date when the model debuted in 1956. The dial is where things become particularly interesting. Cut from natural meteorite, each dial displays a unique crystalline pattern formed over millions of years in space. No two are exactly alike. Adding another layer of luxe detail are the diamond hour markers that catch the light without overwhelming the dial. Inside is the Rolex caliber 3255 automatic movement, powering the Day-Date’s signature displays: the full day of the week at 12 o’clock and the date at 3. Shop Rolex Day-Date 40 Collection
