Rolex Day-Date 40 228236 | 18ct Everose Gold | Chocolate Diamond Baguette Dial | Full Set 2017

Why we love this watch

Few timepieces command a room quite like the Rolex Day-Date 40, and this 2017 example in reference 228236 represents the model at its most captivating. Crafted entirely in 18ct Everose Gold - Rolex's exclusive warm rose gold alloy - every surface of this watch radiates a depth and richness that only solid gold can deliver. At the heart of this piece is the extraordinary chocolate brown dial, set with diamond baguettes that catch the light with effortless drama. Complementing it is the factory-set diamond bezel, a feature that elevates this reference into the realm of true haute horology. Together, the dial and bezel create a harmony of warmth and brilliance that is unmistakably Rolex at its finest. The 40mm round case is presented in absolutely mint condition - free of scratches, marks or any sign of wear. The iconic President bracelet, also in 18ct Everose Gold, sits with the same pristine character, wearing as beautifully today as the day it left Geneva. The watch retains its full day and date complication, with the date window positioned at 3 o'clock, delivering the distinguished functionality that has made the Day-Date a symbol of achievement for decades. A 70-hour power reserve ensures reliability befitting a watch of this stature. This example is presented as a complete full set, accompanied by its original Rolex box and papers dated to 2017 - an increasingly rare combination that speaks to the care with which this watch has been maintained. Available exclusively through SASO, this Day-Date 40 is an opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable references in the modern Rolex catalogue, in a configuration that rarely presents itself in this condition.
