The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case back, which was also screwed onto the case for waterproofness, using specific Rolex tools. Over time, the fluting became an aesthetic element, a genuine Rolex signature feature. Today the fluted bezel is a mark of distinction, in platinum on this Day-Date 40.

The Rolex Day-Date 40 m228236-0026 is the epitome of luxury and sophistication, reserved for those who demand the finest in watchmaking. Crafted in a 40mm platinum case, this iconic model exudes prestige and elegance. The ice blue dial, a hallmark of Rolex’s platinum watches, features a sunburst finish and Roman numerals in white gold, offering a stunning and refined aesthetic. The watch is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3255, a state-of-the-art automatic movement with a robust 70-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and reliability. The iconic President bracelet, also crafted in platinum, adds to the watch’s exclusivity and comfort, with its semi-circular three-piece links providing a distinctive look. With its day display at 12 o'clock and date display at 3 o'clock, the m228236-0026 is a perfect blend of functionality and elegance, making it a timeless choice for connoisseurs of luxury.
