Rolex Day-Date 228239
The Day-Date arrived in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display the date alongside the day of the week spelled out in full. Rolex has only ever made it in precious metal, and the association it acquired with heads of state and company chairmen gave the model the name by which its bracelet is still known.
This 228239 is the 40mm generation introduced in 2015, cased in 18ct white gold with a fluted bezel. The olive green dial with applied Roman numerals is among the more distinctive dial options Rolex offered in this reference, and it reads as considerably more restrained in white gold than the same dial would in yellow.
Calibre 3255 is part of the fourth-generation movement family Rolex began rolling out in 2015, with the Chronergy escapement, a blue Parachrom hairspring and a seventy-hour power reserve. It represented a meaningful improvement in both accuracy and service interval over the 3155 it replaced. Water resistance is 10 ATM.
The President bracelet was designed alongside the original Day-Date in 1956 and has never been offered on a steel Rolex. Its semi-circular three-piece links and concealed Crownclasp are specific to this model line.
This example is offered with its original box and papers, less the white tag, in used condition graded Good, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.
