Rolex Day-Date 40, Ref. 228235 - Slate Ombre

The Rolex Day-Date 40 Reference 228235 is a distinguished timepiece, presented in Rolex's proprietary 18 ct Everose gold with a 40mm Oyster case. This particular model, a Q3 2025 release, arrives in brand new, unworn condition, representing a pinnacle of luxury horology.

At its heart, the Day-Date 40 Reference 228235 is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3255 a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. This movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, boasting an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. The Calibre 3255 integrates the patented Chronergy escapement for enhanced energy efficiency and reliability, along with a blue Parachrom hairspring and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, providing approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The watch features the iconic instantaneous day and date display in separate apertures, magnified by Rolex's signature Cyclops lens over the date.

The Day-Date holds a significant position in Rolex's history as the first wristwatch to display both the date and the full day of the week in windows on the dial when it was launched in 1956. Often referred to as "The President's Watch" due to its association with global leaders, this model in 18 ct Everose gold continues the legacy of prestige and innovation. Rolex's Everose gold is a unique alloy, developed in-house, known for its enduring rose hue, which resists fading thanks to a precise composition of gold, copper, and a small percentage of platinum.

Its status as a recent 2025 Q3 release in immaculate conditionmakes it a compelling acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts. Given its precious metal construction and iconic status, it represents a robust investment piecewith strong potential for long-term value retention.
