ROLEX DAY-DATE 40 – Ref. 228206 | 950 Platinum | Ice Blue Dial | Box & Papers 2020

This, in more than excellent condition, Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228206 represents absolute prestige and understated power. Crafted entirely from solid 950 platinum, this exceptional timepiece is the most exclusive expression of the Day-Date collection.

The unmistakable ice blue pattern dial is reserved exclusively for platinum Rolex models. The Day-Date’s signature complications display the day of the week fully spelled out at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock, enhanced by Rolex’s iconic Cyclops lens. Paired with the legendary platinum President bracelet, the watch delivers unparalleled comfort and refinement on the wrist. At its heart beats the Rolex Calibre 3255, a next-generation automatic movement renowned for its precision, reliability, and impressive 70-hour power reserve.

Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date marked a true milestone in watchmaking history. It was the first wristwatch in the world to display both the day of the week spelled out in full and the date, instantaneously changing at midnight. From the beginning, the Day-Date was positioned as Rolex’s most prestigious model, crafted exclusively in precious metals—gold and platinum—and never in steel. Worn by presidents, world leaders, and influential figures across business, culture, and sport, it earned the enduring nickname “The President’s Watch.” Its identity was further defined by the introduction of the now-iconic President bracelet in 1956, designed specifically for the Day-Date and recognized for its comfort, elegance, and unmistakable presence.

In platinum, the Day-Date reaches its ultimate expression—distinguished by the exclusive ice blue dial, a subtle yet instantly recognizable signature reserved only for Rolex’s most prestigious creations.
