Rolex Day-Date 40 | 228235 60th Anniversary | 18ct Everose Gold & Olive Green Dial

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces carry the authority of the Rolex Day-Date 40, and this 60th Anniversary reference - 228235 - represents the model at its most compelling. Presented by SASO in Brisbane, this is a watch that requires no introduction, yet commands every room it enters. The 40 mm round case is crafted entirely in 18ct Everose Gold, Rolex's proprietary rose gold alloy celebrated for its enduring warmth and resistance to fading. That same metal carries through to the fluted bezel, which catches light with the precision of finely milled gold, and to the signature President bracelet - a three-piece link design that has long been synonymous with the Day-Date name. At the heart of this piece is the lacquered olive green dial, a richly saturated choice that balances the warmth of the rose gold surround with a depth that rewards a second look. Roman hour markers reinforce the dial's classical authority, lending a timeless formality to every glance at the wrist. The day display sits prominently at 12 o'clock, with the date window positioned at 3 - the twin complications that have defined this reference since its inception. With a 70-hour power reserve, this Day-Date is engineered to remain accurate well beyond a weekend away from the wrist. Every element - case, dial, bracelet - is presented in mint condition, with no visible wear to any surface. The Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228235 60th Anniversary is available now, exclusively through SASO.
