Day-Date 40 Chocolate Dial- Everose Gold

18k Everose gold gives the Rolex Day-Date 40 reference 228235 a warm glow, from the substantial case to its President bracelet. The fluted bezel breaks the light into bright, shifting reflections, while the chocolate dial’s sunray finish moves between rich brown tones and a soft sheen. A sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens magnifies the date, and the day display sits in its arched window at 12 o’clock.

Calibre 3255 is a self-winding movement with a 70-hour power reserve and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification. The three-piece President bracelet integrates smoothly with the case and closes with a concealed Crownclasp; the Easylink extension provides a small adjustment for added comfort. With 100 metres of water resistance, the watch is suited to everyday wear, though care is recommended around water for a precious-metal dress watch.

This 2021 example is in mint condition and comes as a full set, with extra links included.
