Day-Date 40

The Rolex Day-Date 40 228396TBR-0021 is an exceptional expression of Rolex's most prestigious watchmaking, combining the rarity of 950 platinum with an extraordinary diamond-set design. Measuring 40 mm, this luxurious Day-Date features a fully platinum case and President bracelet, complemented by a dazzling diamond-paved dial and diamond-set bezel.

The distinctive dial is adorned with eight baguette-cut diamonds and two baguette-cut sapphires positioned at 6 and 9 o'clock. The carefully selected gemstones create an exceptional display of brilliance while adding a refined and distinctive character to the watch. Rolex's meticulous gem-setting craftsmanship ensures each stone is precisely positioned to enhance the overall harmony of the dial.

The iconic President bracelet, crafted entirely from 950 platinum, completes the design. Recognizable by its semi-circular three-piece links and concealed Crownclasp, the bracelet was originally introduced with the Day-Date in 1956 and remains one of Rolex's defining symbols of luxury and refinement.

Inside, the self-winding Rolex calibre 3255 delivers exceptional precision with approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The movement incorporates Rolex's Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. The Oyster case provides water resistance to 100 metres, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal features Rolex's signature Cyclops lens over the date.
