Rolex Day-Date 40

The Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228235 is a statement piece in solid 18ct Everose gold. This version features the rare and highly sought-after olive green sunburst dial.

The 40mm case is made entirely from Rolex’s proprietary Everose gold. It has high-polish surfaces and precise finishing that catch the light sharply. The fluted bezel is also Everose gold, giving this model the signature Day-Date look. It is water resistant to 100 metres with a screw-down Triplock crown.

The dial is sunburst olive green, a rare and collectable option in the Day-Date range. The applied Roman numeral hour markers are cut from gold and polished for contrast. The hands are gold with Chromalight lume. The day is displayed in full at 12 o’clock, and the date sits under a Cyclops lens at 3.

Inside is the Rolex Calibre 3255. This automatic movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified. It includes Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring, offering high performance and reliability. It’s accurate to within -2/+2 seconds per day and built to last a lifetime.

The bracelet is the legendary President bracelet. It has semi-circular, three-piece links made from solid Everose gold. The finish combines polished and brushed surfaces, and the concealed Crownclasp keeps the design seamless. The fit is secure, smooth, and unmistakably Rolex.

This watch is in excellent condition. The case and bracelet show only light signs of wear. The dial and crystal are flawless. 

The Rolex Day-Date 40 with olive dial is one of the most desirable modern configurations. It blends rare colour, solid gold construction, and Rolex’s best technology.
