The Rolex Day-Date, launched in 1956, is celebrated as the firm’s first timepiece to feature a separate day and date display, becoming one of Rolex’s most iconic models. Two defining characteristics of the Day-Date have remained unchanged for over 50 years: the exclusive use of precious materials and the 36 mm case size. However, a significant milestone was reached in 2008 when Rolex introduced the first Day-Date with a 41 mm case, marking a departure from its traditional dimensions. This evolution continued in 2015 with the introduction of the 40 mm case, exemplified by the reference 228 239. The Day-Date 40, crafted in 18k white gold, represents a modern evolution of the classic model. It features a solid President bracelet, known for its semicircular three-piece links, which is both robust and elegant. This timepiece is powered by the advanced automatic caliber 3255 movement, renowned for its precision and impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The present example of reference 228 239 is exceptionally well-preserved and features a highly attractive blue dial adorned with Roman numerals. This variant is part of a diverse range of the Day-Date models, which include options with precious stones, lacquered, or hardstone dials. Offered in exceptional condition and accompanied by its original set of box and papers, the Rolex reference 228 239 is lauded for its luxurious materials, advanced movement, and iconic status.
