The Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. M228239-0007 exemplifies refined craftsmanship and enduring prestige. Introduced in 1956, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch to display both the full day of the week and the date in dedicated windows—a hallmark of precision and prestige that endures to this day. This contemporary interpretation, rendered in 18 ct white gold, features a 40 mm Oyster case with a fluted bezel, polished to perfection. The olive-green sunray dial—a distinctive hue reserved for precious metal versions—creates a stunning contrast against the white gold case. The applied Roman numerals and luminous hands enhance legibility while underscoring its timeless elegance. At its heart beats the Rolex Calibre 3255, an advanced self-winding movement developed and manufactured entirely by Rolex. Equipped with the Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring, it offers superior resistance to shocks and magnetism, a 70-hour power reserve, and precision certified as a Superlative Chronometer (−2/+2 seconds/day). The Day-Date 40 is fitted with the iconic President bracelet, distinguished by its semi-circular three-piece links that deliver both comfort and prestige. The concealed Crownclasp ensures a seamless aesthetic. Waterproof to 100 meters (330 feet), the M228239-0007 is more than a timepiece—it is a statement of achievement, elegance, and quiet power.

The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch.
It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in gold on this Day-Date 40.
Bright Blue Dial
The sunray finish creates delicate light reflections on many dials in the Oyster Perpetual collection. It is obtained using masterful brushing techniques that create grooves running outwards from the centre of the dial.
Light is diffused consistently along each engraving, creating a characteristic subtle glow that moves depending on the position of the wrist. Once the sunray finish has been completed, the dial colour is applied using Physical Vapour Deposition or electroplating. A light coat of varnish gives the dial its final look.
The Oystersteel Bracelet
The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology.
And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The President bracelet, with its semi-circular three piece links, was created in 1956 for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date. It represents the ultimate in refinement and comfort and is always made of carefully selected precious metals.
