The Rolex Day-Date 40 228235 is crafted in rose gold and features a slate ombré dial. The dial features a radiant center that graduates to deep black around the edges, offering striking depth and contrast to the warm rose-gold tones of the case. Faceted, deconstructed Roman numerals and polished index markers in rose gold complete the design, blending heritage form with modern flair. The fluted bezel and President bracelet further reinforce the model’s prestige and visual cohesion.

*This timepiece comes with the original white hang tag.

The Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228235 presents a seamless blend of elegance and technical prowess, encased in rich 18K Everose gold. At 40 mm, the case retains a balanced presence—neither overtly bold nor understated—and the fluted bezel adds both texture and tradition. The President bracelet, crafted in matching Everose gold, offers a graceful flow from lugs to wrist, combining refined contours with everyday comfort.

Its slate ombré dial transitions subtly from lighter grey in the center to deeper charcoal at the edges, creating visual depth and dynamic play with light. Applied gold hour markers and faceted hands move cleanly over the surface, while the classic Day-Date layout presents the day of the week at 12 o’clock and date at 3 o’clock under the Cyclops lens. The interplay between warm gold and cool tones gives this version a modern edge within a timeless format.

At its heart lies Rolex’s Caliber 3255, offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve, Rolex’s Chronergy escapement, and the robustness of a Superlative Chronometer (±2 sec/day). With 100 m of water resistance, the ref. 228235 combines luxurious aesthetics with everyday resilience. This Everose gold “slate ombré” Day-Date 40 is a tasteful expression of modern sophistication rooted in Rolex heritage.
